Odysseus: Odysseus

Director: Koen ter Braak
A queer visual album that relates the Greek epic of Odysseus on the basis of music videos for tracks by artists like Frank Ocean, Charli XCX, Rosalía and James Blake.
In this graduation film and modern interpretation of the famous epic, Odysseus relates how he, after winning the Trojan War, resolutely returns to his home in Ithaca. A story about psychedelic lotus flowers, introverted one-eyed giants, sexy Sirens and queer witches. About sea, wind and carnivorous drag queens. And about letting go.Based on a Spotify playlist full of pop music by contemporary celebrated artists, including Frank Ocean, Caroline Polachek, Charli XCX, Rosalía, Nicolás Jaar and James Blake.
