About

Set during no strict period, Glugga is inspired by the cold brutality of both Nordic Reality & Myth.

Shot on location in Iceland, including the stone gorge of Thingvellir where many unfortunate women marched on their way to the Drekkingarhylur (Drowning Pool) during Iceland’s dark era of Reformation.

Narration is taken entirely from the works of Icelandic romantic-era Women poets whose work stoically confronts Nature, Freedom & Femininity, without a hint of sentimentality.

Music by theremin artist Hekla echoes perfectly both the loneliness of the inner world & the terrible overwhelmingness of the natural world – and echoes a vibrational deaf experience.
