Da Hillsook Wedeen

Original title Da Hillsook Wedeen

[mlsid]

Shetland is a place of wild unforgiving landscapes, supernatural beliefs and a soundscape barely altered over time. The film explores storytelling and social imagination in Shetland. The folklore tale Da Hillsook Wedeen has a timeless quality: unfolding from historical trauma forward, through generations of women’s voices. What does it mean to be a woman left on the shore?
