here: Sworn Virgins of Albania on Vimeo
This is a beautiful trailer made by the amazing Rachel Morrison for the documentary He/She/He. It is about the Sworn Virgins of Albania. A group of women who live socially as men in northern Albania and parts of Kosovo. It is a complex tradition that is dying out and only a few Sworn Virgins are left. The doc is being produced by Jill Peters.
Aside from the lovely scenery shots, what makes this a “beautiful trailer”? It doesn’t seems to function as a trailer in the usual sense in that it tells us nothing at all about the movie. Lots of shots of people talking, but only the music is heard, and the shots don’t seem to have a chronology.
What am I missing here?
