She Sings to the Stars returns for a final preview screening before seeking a commercial release. A story that values soulfulness, foregrounds simplicity, quiet and stillness, it offers a glimpse into an unknown America: without water, a Native American grandmother continues to inhabit the desert. Her half-Mexican grandson rushes to ‘make it big’. A faded white magician finds himself lost at her doorstep. The film raises enduring questions, yet touches on the zeitgeist when it comes to the current ecological crises of the planet and the human spirit, asking: What exactly is ‘reality’? What is ‘magic’? And who are the real magicians?
Tom Verner of Magicians Without Borders from Lincoln, VT, says, “What a gorgeous telling of the old story of death and rebirth, of the need to be connected to the real magic once again if we are to bring the world back to life. This film is still and deep as the night sky. How the dry soul of our world needs the water of films like this.”
Described as “a film to be experienced“, it takes time so viewers have to make the decision to be a part of it. It will be screened on the largest screen in Burlington: says actor, Sam Waterston, “It’s not an ordinary look at the world, you will find the images and the vision coming back to mind long after you’ve finished watching. Watch on the biggest screen you can get at: in this movie, the size of the night sky matters.”
