INTRO:

↑ April Lin - (TENDING) (TO) (TA)

Really love this surreal world created + the collage
Would be intrested in maybe doing a drone shot from above aswell maybe...

↓ Rory Pilgrim - The Undercurrent

Not so surreal, but nice intro into landscape and people with tension build up
suggesting of different bodies and actions, camera movement

laying down ?
upside down shot?

← Tarkovsky - Solaris

I feel these eery - dreamy - soft vibes would fit perfectly.
maybe recreated through the purple flowers at the veluwezoom

I would like to get this feeling of sparkles in the shots

detailed shots of the protagonists as she walks, dances, etc

From the animation, I would like this seed ball to appear and maybe to be overlayed with a close shot of the protagonist?

The film starts by looking from above down to this space called Daughterlands. Almost seed shaped the grass slowly moves in the wind. It’s a liminal landscape, a borderland: It’s where the the past, that is never finished, and the future, never determined, meet. Plants live there in their own right, but in harmony together. This landscape inhabits struggles, but they are allowed to exist. Diversity is abundant.

Metaphorically,
we describe where we come from as our roots,
Reaching through layers of ancestories,
Alive or buried, their rich soil nurturing us, weaving ourselves into the fabric of histories that slowly decompose into cultures

In between the protagonist twirls and dances. We move closer, and look at her, through the purple plants and ancestral grains of this landscape. She seems to be both eastern and western, traditional and modern. She is wearing a blindfolded with eyes made of seeds, with which she looks blissfully at the world.
As she inhabits this landscape, she meets different plants, greets them with a smile, (think of the landscape as house)

Scene describtion:

Voice Over:

But what becomes of a plant grown without a motherland?

How does it connect with its roots?

Seeking them and looking for routes back,
We create this place here, called Daughterlands

and them transforming / layered with the 'animations'
