Songs of Blood & Destiny

Based on the epic poem iGirl by Marina Carr.

A narrator unravels her own life like a knotted ball of string, reflecting with dark humour and heavenly wit on humanities destiny and evokes voices past and future.Using her unique visual language, the filmmaker mirrors the slippery nature of Carr’s work, fire, earth, air, water, crash and bump, contradictory truths told by a dynamic troupe of actors, banging on the fourth wall.

REVIEWS

“The present day narrator is curious, funny but unforgiving, evoking voices, past and future” —Screen Writers Guild of Ireland

“The film reminds us of the potential extinction of the planet, and ourselves, driven by our very desire to avoid it, fueled by sci-fi fantasies of somewhere better in the beyond, transhumants of the future” —Screen Writers Guild of Ireland

“An epic poem in conversation with the past and the present while always taking stock of what it really means to be human” —RTE
