    Selva. A Portrait of Parvaneh Navaï

    Katerina Thomadaki Maria Klonaris 1983 color 70min
    A forest explodes in Selva, the portrait of Parvaneh Navai by Maria Klonaris. Nature, external space, a shifting metaphor of the interior space of the portrayed. Whirlwind, breath, stirring the inertia of the earth into uprising, this woman, dressed in red, dances and haunts the forest with her ecstasy. Sorceress, she wanders out of body, she flies, surrendering in the depths of sleep. Asleep, sunk into the earth who receives, who soothes her, she is beautiful. Gravity is overturned, the forest travels, the camera moves, free to recreate space and time. Dynamics of movement mingle with dynamics of sound. The filmer and the filmed: a cosmogonic encounter of two women "speaking languages from the roots" (Hélène Cixous)
    - Katerina Thomadaki (Catalogue Film Portraits of Women by Women, a program created by Klonaris/Thomadakied. The Funnel, Toronto, 1986)
