LETTERS TO A YOUNG SINGER
a film by Lena Måndotter
"The film LETTERS TO A YOUNG SINGER
clearly shows Lena Måndotter’s deep understanding of the connection
between song and psyche and the body-soul work. Lena is a singer, song-therapist,
writer and film-maker and the depth of the movie is shown in the original
and convincing way she uses the images! People who watch this movie will
be moved at a deep level and even if they don’t understand everything
with their heads; their bodies will definitely understand”
MARION WOODMAN, Jungian analyst based in London/Ontario,
Canada, and internationally known writer, lecturer and seminar-leader.
”Letters to a Young Singer is a brave film about the
worlds of song
and myth. I have deep respect for her creativity and professionality as
a filmer, and as a producer, because the production is also very beautiful.
I really hope she continues filming!”
HENRIK VON SYDOW,
SVT Swedish National Television/Broadcasting.
