A reincarnated mermaid tries to find herself and adapt to the rigidity of the human world in this astonishing hybrid debut.

Part fiction, part documentary, Sirens Call follows a once mermaid now wandering Earth in a human body, as she joins the merfolk community in Oregon. Unlike anything else, Miri Ian Gossing and Lina Sieckmann’s first feature is a meditative, true compassionate ode to unapologetically living your authentic self in a world that would prefer we all neatly fit into boxes.

The screening on Thu 6 Nov will have a Q&A with co-directors Miri Ian Gossing and Lina Sieckmann.

"...it masterfully balances calm and urgency, beauty and terror, light and darkness... a hypnotic, one-of-a-kind celebration of otherness - an invitation to embrace fluidity, resistance and the freedom to exist beyond imposed boundaries." — Jared Abbott, Journey into Cinema
