> DESCRIPTION

"...where "Under a Shipwrecked Moon" triumphs is Alli's extraordinary dream and hallucination sequences which take the imagination into new and daring realms that few artists could ever aspire to conceive..." -- PHIL HALL. FILMTHEAT.COM


The power of a long-buried family secret is unleashed when the extreme rituals of a self-made shamanic punk rocker catapult him into the spirit realm in search of his father, a ship captain who drowned at sea. This ship captain's mother was a Finnish sorceress whose powers were passed onto the punk rocker grandson, powers that are tested when the grandfather unexpectedly collapses into a coma. His consciousness
drifts though a series of dreams, memories and visions of his first love, the sorceress, who beckons him to join her in the Great Beyond in this surreal fable of true love, giant hedgehogs and the mystical depths of family bonds. Antero Alli (in petrson), Super-8 film &DV, 2003; 96 min.
