The sun bird. Come as you are, as a new beginning. We are small in the rhythm of it all. The leaves grow, until fall. A new season awaits.

The story behind the film

Directed and choreographed by Jacob Jonas, Garuda features Emma Rosenzweig-Bock with cinematography by Jessica Young. Edited by Max Neumeier with original composition by The Knot. The sun has extremely important influences on our planet: it drives weather, ocean currents, seasons, and climate, and makes plant life possible through photosynthesis. without the sun’s heat and light, life on earth would not exist. The film is an homage to the sun. Shot throughout nature during different times of the day, the sun or moon is always part of the frame. There will be sequential choreography of a dancer portraying a bird. Leaving her nest to explore the day.
