Pan & Syrinx

Pan & Syrinx · 2024

In the last gentle breaths of bacchanale, two lovers are told the tale of the great god Pan’s violent pursuit of the forest nymph Syrinx. The film refracts the myth through layers of song, identity, and performance: at once a ballet, a trans fantasia, and an exploration of love and power.

The printing bleeds onto the optical sound strip, the image obscuring the soundtrack. The landscape is impossible to return to.
