The rewilding of Queen Lupa....
7th century Galician Queen Lupa outwits Rome, church, early empire powers, Visigoths and annoying pilgrims dragging the body of their Apostle all over her territory. She and her countrywomen freak out the patriarchal, order-loving Romans and early Catholic Church and confound their dreams. They call them 'witches' for their healing and uncanny animal skills, herbal lore, astronomy and ancient knowledge. Intriguing variations in Lupa’s legend compelled me to make an examination of her character in film for Planet of Dreams 2022.
