Yanira Yariv : 2014
Love and Metamorphoses
Just a few kilometres from Rome, the sand dunes of Sabaudia, marsh and woods of the Circeo and the Arpino waterfall become the backdrop to mythical transformations: Callisto metamorphoses into a bear, Jupiter changes into Diana, Glaucus transforms into a sea monster and the nymph Salamachis merges forever with the body of the young Hermaphrodite. But each of these transformations also plays on those of their performers, thus giving a new twist to Ovid's Metamorphoses and questioning the role of gender and identity in our society. Yanira Yariv's feature debut premiered at Locarno Film Festival 2014.
