The film i speak to ghosts and listen to echoes explores water as a material as well as metaphor. The work aims to connect the story of my daughter’s caul birth to both small and large stories situated around water: hydrofeminsm and how we are all bodies of water; caul birth and its spiritual implications and how in Old Nordic beliefs it is said to have the special ability to navigate between many worlds, that you are a safe keeper for seafarers; indigenous thinking of waters as planetary archives of feelings (daughter’s american grandfather is a former Alaskan fisherman and closely connected to indigenous cultures). It can both be viewed as a poem and an experimental essay film, drifting between coastal imaginaries, storms, caul births, shipwrecks, ancestral reverberation, optics and what the camera sees.
