Spiralling Into Desire

Synopsis

Spiralling into Desire is a Movement X Film collaboration that traces a woman's descent into her deep body to access and retrieve her true autonomy. The film draws parallels from the first epic poem 'The descent of Innana' which narrates the story of the Sumerian goddess Innana's descent into the underworld, to visit her sister Ershikegel - the queen of the dead. Separated, the two sisters represent the Madonna/Whore split, a dangerous consequence of patriarchy.
