Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
SYCORAX
Synopsis
Mother of Caliban and imprisoner of Ariel, Sycorax remains offstage in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, dismissed by Prospero as an “evil sorceress”. Here she becomes the central subject, as a director attempts to give a face and voice to this silenced character.

Our take
Lois Patiño (Red Moon Tide) unites with Matías Piñeiro (Isabella) for this surprising and freeform reworking of Shakespeare’s beloved storm-wrecked play. Giving voice to the The Tempest’s elusive witch, this inquisitive reverie finds an innovative middle ground between film and the theater.
