Harpy

"Bird-bodied, girl-faced things they are;
abominable their droppings, their hands are talons,
their faces haggard with hunger insatiable." (Virgil)
Starting from Anne Carson’s “The gender of sound”,
the film plays around with the trope that classically
associates women with irrational and uncontrolled
outflow of sounds, more similar to the monstrous
than the human — the opposite of rational, self-controlled,
moderate in speaking man. Employing unpleasant
sounds, high pitched shrieks and guttural groans,
the film explores stages in between femininity
and animality.
