Maid Mother Crone
Our elements are hereditary.
Our silence and visibility are not.
Maid Mother Crone explores visibility, equity, potency, rage and deep healing. This fictionalised folk film questions expectation around roles and behaviours, and overturns societal conditioning as three women dive deeply into instinct, perception, the horror of the body, sexual representation and ultimately their collective freedom.
Earthing Productions, Elin Gunnarsdotter Sandvik, Rosetta Drenth, Rebecca Palmer and David Ogrodowski co-produced a teaser for Maid Mother Crone in 2023.
Written, directed and played by Elin Gunnarsdotter Sandvik, Rosetta Drenth, Rebecca Palmer, the transversally funded short was shot by Alice Millar in Edinburgh, Scotland and was selected by Cine Pobre Film Festival, Montreal Women Film Festival and became a semi finalist at New York International Women Film Festival.
