First Hermanubis is a film in a planned longer series of films using the figure of Hermanubis, a Hellenistic-Egyptian deity combining Hermes and Anubis, as a starting point for thinking about hybridized identities, magic and the occult, and how to better live in the world as part of a vibrant and diverse ecological system. This first episode focuses on the story of my family, Anatolian Greeks who came to the United States in the early 20th Century, and my relationship to growing up in the Greek Orthodox Church, self-initiation into magic, and relocation to Egypt.

THUNDER is Sonnie Wooden’s latest radical collage, using the archive and original material, expertly woven into a multi-layered essay on love, loss, the body, and the fractious persona of hyper-representation.
