Synopsis:

“Untitled (A Single Spar)tan Girl)” is a short film deconstructing a foundational tale of the Western canon, that of the Trojan War. “Untitled” rejects the mainstream narrative that it was caused by “a single Spartan girl” and weaves in other accounts from Sappho, her lover Paris, Herodotus, the first historian, and an imagined account from Helen herself. By reappropriating the text, “Untitled” rejects the uniglossality of history in favor of a polyglossal approach mirrored in the spoken poem.
