Trapart News, July 17th, 2018Dear Trapart friend,
I hope this newsletter finds you well and cool in the overall global heatwave.
The big news here is that Lunacy is now available on DVD. It's a project I'm particularly proud of as it's the first big film project Vanessa and I have made together (with many more to come, of course).
"LUNACY is the moon-romantic follow-up to Carl Abrahamsson’s film SUB UMBRA ALARUM LUNA from 2016 (also available from Trapart). Where SUB UMBRA was a specific honouring of Derek Jarman’s IN THE SHADOW OF THE SUN (1975, with music by Throbbing Gristle 1980), LUNACY journeys deeper into the lunar energies specifically inspiring witchcraft. Vanessa Sinclair began by creating cut-ups of Abrahamsson’s writing about the moon, then made audio recordings of these, which Abrahamsson set to music, eventually becoming the soundtrack for the film LUNACY. The creative couple constructed a declaration of love for the moon as a timeless source of inspiration for poetry, beauty, witchcraft and other essential facets of life.
This film is a psychedelic trip to the moon and back, praising lunar forces and witches from all times and spaces. LUNACY acts as a conductor to emotional transcendence and illumination rather than to scientific analysis. The moon is always there in various degrees of visibility to the human eye, but the power of Hecate and other lunar celebrities remains constant. It’s the only fact that’s relevant in the greater human scheme of things."
Words by Vanessa Sinclair. Music & Film by Carl Abrahamsson. 43 minutes.
