In a world where the old gods are vanished, humanity is stuck in a limbo of torture and confusion while trying to find its new ways. For thousands of years, the Furies – deities of vengeance and punishment – are bound powerless in solitude, stripped of their ancient magic. However, Tisiphone, the most brutal of them all, is given a final chance to come back and reform history by attempting to redeem what she once destroyed, including herself.
“The Exterminating Angel: Three Portraits of Tisiphone in Latvian Lands” is a live-action/animation mythological non-dialogue film that focuses on the legacy of the Furies – ancient Greek goddesses of vengeance – in current human history. Moreover, the film specifies the last moments of Tisiphone, one of three the Furies, attempting to redeem herself from her vengeful and violent past, come to terms with humanity’s paradoxical nature and sow hope in the hearts of humans after her own self-demise.
“The Exterminating Angel” is not only an artistic exploration of Tisiphone’s myth but a broader reflection on our longing to preserve, exhibit, and redefine past narratives. My goal is to use cinema as a medium to translate this mythological idea into a haunting and meditative visual experience that connects with today’s world.
The project is currently in the development phase.
