Experiencing Interruptions?

A MOUNTAIN PORTRAIT

A MOUNTAIN PORTRAIT is a film project and collaboration by and with Andrea Hackl and Elisa Pol

ELISA POL - actress, based in Italy
ANDREA HACKL - choreographer, dancer, visual artist / film maker, based in Amsterdam and Austria

The mountains, an archaic powerful environment.

Existing as if beyond time, guardians of this world. A soul landscape.

What is the fascination with this environment that some feel?

This film is a collaboration and meeting point of the two performers, two women with a special relationship to the mountains. It is inspired by the meaning that this environment has for them personally.
It is a collage of personal stories overlapping with stories and anecdotes of other female wanderers and mountaineers, such as Nan Shepherd (The Living Mountain) and Rebecca Solnit (Wanderlust).
