TO CASSANDRA

TO CASSANDRA is a music video based on the famous poem by Pierre de Ronsard "Ode à Cassandre" (1545), intertwined with Feist's feminist hymn "Pleasure". As a young female filmmaker, I would like to give Cassandra a voice while she is considered as a mere object of desire by Ronsard. How does it feel to be in her skin? Who is she? What does she see and desire? Now is time to enter Cassandra's own poem.
