Baba Dana Talks to the Wolves
An impressionistic portrait of Baba Dana, an 85 year-old Bulgarian woman who has chosen to spend her life in the mountain, away from people and cities. Working with a 16mm film camera, expired film stock, hand-processing techniques and no commentary nor dialogue, I seek to create a visceral cinematic language that reflects her unique ways of living and being.
