Diana & Minerva

“The never-told encounter between mythological goddesses Diana and Minerva resurfaces in two contemporary women whose drifting voice mails unravel a new debate around empathy, civility and earth's trajectory.”

Ancient myth keeps Diana and Minerva apart, until this film brings them together in the unlikely setting of a pink kitchen in an '80s Mexican villa. Reimagined as two contemporary women, they speak through fragmentary voice mails that blur personal pain, natural-world anxieties and the erosion of civility. With its hybrid language of observation, visual collage and dream logic, the film invents a myth inside an intimate, hyper-feminine domestic space charged with quiet, growing tension.
