Farewell to Snow – Snowplay
Priha Sanni
The film-poem examines the bodily and sensual connection between human and the non-human – the love between a poet and the disappearing snow in the Circumpolar North. The poet-player dives into the snow, opening and closing the folds of memory, desire, grief and loss. A nature documentary for the generations of a snowless future.
