Calypso

Inspired by Homer's Odyssey, the film creates a queer reinterpretation of the nymph Calypso who traps Odysseus on her island. This intimate and sensuous rendition unveils the characters' emotional states through subtle gestures and contemplative portraits, delving into feelings of love, longing and abandonment. "Alienated by the outside world, Calypso (Jamieson Edson) and Odysseus (Cameron Stetz) lay naked in bed allowing their bodies to be warmed up by the light of day, and the realness of touch. Penelope (Quagliata) denudes herself behind and in front of the camera. The voice of the Greek nymph Calypso is expressed by silent intertitles adapted from Homer’s Odyssey." - Mónica Savirón, Museum of the Moving Image
