This film was made with the help of the Leonora Carrington Estate and the invaluable support of her grandson Daniel Weisz. Please join their wonderful instagram page @leonoracarringtonestate - https://www.instagram.com/leonoracarringtonestate/?hl=en This is a film about magic. Leonora Carrington’s paintings are populated with mythical creatures, alchemy, folklore, fairy tales, the occult and human-animal hybrids. She was an artist who explored the limits of the imagination and was dedicated to free expression - especially when it meant breaking the rules. Her life story is extraordinary - but so is the art she created. A true visionary, Carrington produced some of the most remarkable paintings of the 20th Century, where beasts lurk behind every doorway, rituals unfold in dim-lit chambers, and women become cats, witches, and alchemists - architects of their own dark metamorphosis.
