THE ORPHAN CYCLE     NATURE REWIRED CATALOGUE, ARTIST CHRISTAAN ZWANIKKEN

How did mankind haul itself from the depths of the maternal muck, soft embryos clambering into a world already inhabited by beasts, equipped with neither claws nor shells?


Man nearly picked from the rocks!


A MEETING OF BEASTS     PRESS RELEASE, ARTIST CHRISTAAN ZWANIKKEN, AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

They have not stopped ever since we returned from New York City.  Every morning, before I have even turned them on, they demand to return.  


I have no choice.  I am outnumbered.

MOTT MUSIC     DOCUMENTARY CHANNEL SYNOPSIS, FLYAWAYFILMS

One must “climb on top of pianos and walk over pianos to come to another piano,” never quite sure what is waiting around the corner, more pianos or a Minotaur taking a bath.

ABOUT THE FILM     

Concentric narrative threads binding one film, all centered on a monastery turned artistic and spiritual retreat.  The audience is not merely watching a documentary.  The audience is being transported to a new destination.  

FESTIVAL PUBLICATION SYNOPSIS     

Unlike conventional documentaries, Convento’s story is told with a continuously moving camera that tracks through the landscape and invites the audience into the daily lives of these extraordinary people.     

BLOG SYNOPSIS

A Dutch family left Holland to transform a four-hundred-year-old Portuguese monastery into a home, artists’ workshop, and nature preserve.
