UPCOMING & RECENT SCREENINGS​

BRINGING MY FILMS TO YOUR AUDIENCE

The first two films of the Death Contemplation Series are currently being presented at international film festivals. While not yet released for public online streaming, they are available for curated screenings and academic engagements.

 

I warmly invite proposals from universities, cultural institutions, museums, and film societies interested in hosting a screening followed by a Q&A session.

 

These films serve as powerful catalysts for dialogue on themes of:

  • Visual and sensory ethnography

  • Ritual studies and cultural preservation

  • Cultural perspectives on mortality and transcendence.

A STORY OF CURIOSITY, CAMERA & SACRED RITUALS

The story behind the Death Contemplation Series is one of a radically redirected life. It’s about a woman who traded a conventional life in Europe for the edge of a jungle in Southeast Asia—venturing from there to document the world's most sacred and misunderstood rituals.

I AM AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEWS AND FEATURES.

The story can be explored from several angles:

  • What drives a person to trade stability for the unknown? This angle explores the personal journey behind the films: the challenges of fieldwork, the solitude of a life at the jungle's edge, and the relentless drive to bring unknown, hard-to-access rituals to the wider world—while paying tribute to the communities who hold them.

  • Face to Face with the Sacred: An intimate look at the experience of filming powerful death rites. This angle delves into the ethical nuances, the building of trust with communities, and the profound moments of human connection that occur when taboos are approached with respect.

  • The Art of Immersive Storytelling: How can a film make you feel a ritual without a single word of explanation? This angle focuses on the unique cinematic method—the use of music, intimate close-ups, and the absence of narration—to create a visceral, emotional experience for the viewer.

High-resolution stills are available upon request. For journalists on assignment, a secure, private preview link to the films can be provided to aid in story development.

I welcome conversations with journalists and can tailor an interview to your publication's focus.
