Sorceress (2017)

Unveiling an enigmatic journey through the realm of the surreal, Sorceress is a modern film noir that dances on the edge of reality and illusion. In the icy heart of wintry Russia, the story unravels, woven with threads of madness, mystery, and the mystic. Our protagonist, Nina, a young American expatriate, finds herself returning to her Eastern European roots following the crushing loss of her mother. Amidst the numbing drone of everyday life, she crosses paths with Katya, a captivating and enigmatic artist whose allure disrupts Nina's world, sparking both exhilaration and turmoil. This serendipitous encounter leads Nina to question not just her identity but her sanity, her sexuality and ultimately, her truth. Haunted by the fear of inheriting her mother's descent into madness, Nina stands on the precipice of discovery, teetering between the secrets of 16th-century alchemist, Giordano Bruno, and the abyss of her own unraveling identity. As the cosmos, history, and memories crash down upon her, she is both liberated and horrified, caught in an existential crisis that threatens to shatter her very being. Navigating the blurred lines between humanity and the inhuman, the past and the present, the mundane and the euphoric, Sorceress oscillates between dimensions. Is Nina truly losing her mind, or is she simply dancing with the stars in a cosmic ballet of her own making? Filmed amidst the artistic vibrancy of Haihatus - a renowned artist fellowship and residency program in Finland - and financed by the Finlandia Fund, Sorceress offers an immersive exploration of the depths of the human psyche, the seduction of the supernatural, and the eternal quest for self-knowledge.
