Krumins’ fantasy sets the world of flora and fauna on its ear. At one moment grotesque greenish mushrooms grow, wither and reverse their life-cycle, at another, strange crustacean-like animals speed around on a bed of feathers, next a room is inundated with giant ladybugs… Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2009.

Hoboken-based artist Daina Krumins' surreal, feature-length film.

A sci-fi/occult/psychedelic performance film set to an original soundtrack by Rhys Chatham. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2011.

"Summer Light" comes from my texture-driven, non-neurotypical way of finding delight and meaning. It's not verbal meaning, All I say in words is that it does, in fact, have meaning. In a way, it is my world.
