Immemorial, Songs of the Great Night

A film by Béatrice Kordon
Feature Film / Documentary / 2023 / in post-production

Synopsis
Death is on the horizon of every life, and yet, we know nothing of it, and we can’t say anything about it. We can only attempt to grasp some reflections through the mirror that we hold out to it: myths, rituals, dances… which then become places where can be established ties with the inexpressible.
Essentially based on documentary materials, and inspired by the narrative structure of myths, this film is an invitation to walk towards the edge of the inexpressible, between the world of the living and the world of the dead, between visible and invisible, between creation and destruction, and to go beyond the contradictions.
