Overview
Circe was developed by Roderick Coover and Scott Rettberg from a feature-length combinatory script. The full feature was not completed because of technical issues, but this short film was produced from the project and shown at the Inishbofin Festival.
The film was shot in Ireland on the Isle of Inishbofin and in the Galway area. In this shorter form, the project preserves a trace of its larger recombinatory origin: a mythic island story shaped through location, performance, and the unstable logic of return and transformation.
