"under a shipwrecked moon" film screening at grace north sanctuary in berkeley. Tragic turns to magic in the crossroads of dreams. 

Filmmaker in person. Admission: $6-$10.

When a self-made shamanic punk rocker searches the spirit world for his father, a ship captain who drowned at sea, he unexpectedly enters the dreams of his comatose Finnish grandfather who is dreaming of his long lost love, a sorceress who beckons him to the great beyond. As the grandfather sleeps, his earthbound family gathers around his hospital bedside with their own secrets, demands and stories to share in this surreal fable of true love, giant hedgehogs and the mystical depths of family bonds. Featuring a lush soundtrack by the filmmaker's wife, Sylvi Alli, who also plays the lover. (2003; 96 min. USA).
