Last night at a film festival in Kampala the audience was treated to my film, The Night Dancer, and it was the first public screening in Uganda, where everyone knows stories of this type of character, but glad they enjoyed it. They laughed heartily, and they said they were scared and laughing at the same time. Which was a good thing.

You can watch the film here

Lajok: The Night Dancer

Lajok: The Night Dancer is a revenge fantasy, about a woman who uses dance to get revenge. It's based on lore of many Ugandan cultures, where dance is a tool used in dark juju.

NB: The delivery of this film has been long overdue, and yet even now I feel some things didn't come out as I wished them to, and perhaps I'll re-record the drumming for it doesn't sound right in some scenes. But other projects call, and so I'll shelf this for a while. Hope you still enjoy it!

In Greek mythology, the Graeae or "Grey Sisters" were a trio of minor goddesses born with grey hair who collectively owned a single eye and and a single tooth. If one of the Graeae wished to see, she borrowed the eye, and if she wished to eat, she borrowed the tooth.

The hill was designed as a deliberate, almost cinematic ascent from everyday life into the sacred. Bonus: the #Parthenon is scaffolding-free for the first time in 200 years, and a full-scale replica stands in #Nashville.

Do people who are losing their absolute shit over Elliot Page being Achilles "just because of accuracy" know that in mythology Achilles was raised disguised as a girl among women to avoid going to war?...
