SHIVA MOTHER GANGES

DIRECTED BY Stephan Crasneanscki

Produced by Soundwalk Collective for Marionette Cinematography: Stephan Crasneanscki and Anastasia Ivanova Editing: Anastasia Ivanova ’Shiva Mother Ganges' is based on Stephan Crasneanscki’s multiple visits to the sacred Indian city of Varanasi, originally known as Kashi and Banares. It attempts to emulate the vibration of Kashi that encourages the kind of interiority that enables a person to get a better perspective on reality than one might have, while constantly being in the current of human life. A vibration dedicated to eliminating the distinction between human and non-human, between alive and dead, between light and dark. All music composed, performed and produced by Soundwalk Collective Field Recordings: Stephan Crasneanscki, Dug Winningham Arrangement and Mix: Kamran Sadeghi Mastering: Noel Summerville Special Thanks: Dr. Robert E. Svoboda, Eddie Stern, Veer Bhadra Mishra, Ali Safi
