The Astral Women are a 16 mm film transferred to digital filmed in Aug 2015, finished in February 2016.
The film is a single screen film with a narrated / abstract film based on legends, myths, interviews surrounding the Blue Maiden Island in Sweden, also known to be a real witch island. The film depicts three women from three generations (the three witches) that goes to the island to return stones from some of these unlucky souls and walks the labyrinth of the secret language, only felt within ovaries. It's a film that sits within ritual, shamanistic, witch procedures as a way to question our contemporary society of economic growth, exchanges and greed.
