Venus Rising 2020 Directed by Colleen Keough
A chant to the moon, ritualizing the crumbling effigies of patriarchy, opens the first scene of Venus Rising. A woman is seen summoning new life as she dances in a cloud of microbes. What is hidden becomes visible as her rhythmic and undulating body conjures natural forces. Electromagnetic phenomena cut through the atmosphere; a planetary awakening is taking place and now must be followed through.
