It is based on the mythological Greek Queen Hekuba who lost all 19 of her children to conflict and was transformed into a black dog by the Gods for avenging the death of her youngest son. A Poetry film shot in 35mm, 16mm and video with screen projections and miniature photography, the piece is a non-linear panorama of loss, grief and the consequences of revenge.Kristen Mangione's sublime video contemplation of the atmosphere of peace, as captured at a Zen retreat, serves as a counterpoint in form, tone and style. Mangione, a Choreographer and Dancer, created the video as part of a series on the Seasons with the landscape of the retreat house as a constant. Serendipitous moments of stillness and storm are recorded as Mangione documented a dancer's exploration of the landscape.
