Ina Sotirova | 3'27'' | Bulgaria, Jamaica    #filmhaiku

Invocation - A Visual Renga is a deeply personal self-portrait, a visual poem that provides a glimpse into the filmmaker’s obsession with nature and spirituality. Created as a series of visual haikus linked together to form what is known as a renga, over three consecutive days during the online edition of Jihlava Academy in 2020.
