The Swirl Of The Shine Pierced
2026 3 minutes digital video
synopsis:
A radical whirlwind of a punk invocation for revolution.
“"Joan of Arc returns as a figure of rebellion, conviction, and ecstatic transformation in this whirlwind collage of punk iconography and revolutionary desire. Blending historical myth with the raw spiritual energy of underground culture, the film becomes less a call for revolution than an invocation of the longing that gives it life."“ Chicago Underground Film Festival
