An eco-feminist journey across Dartmoor’s mythical sites ︎

Forest, Stone, Flesh is an eco-feminist journey across the mythical sites of Dartmoor National Park in Cornwall. Through the process of anarchiving, the body is used as a material to access histories and to activate the few locations which carry myths that centre around women and slow violence. Anarchiving relates to the idea that sites can be understood as living archives; as such the film ‘re-animates’ local narratives to imagine alternative realities. The film is a ritual performance in which two travellers journey across the site’s past, present and future. Through the lenses of hauntology and post-humanist thought, the history and mythologies of the area are re-examined in connection to an eco-feminist approach.
