Psyche Abandoned Psyche Abandoned

Director: Jane Thorburn

Year: 2023

A Magic Realist Documentary.<br /> The film weaves together real and mythical events to create connections between the history of the Crystal Palace in London and the sculpture called Psyche Abandoned. The story reveals how a moment in the life of a young woman called Psyche was captured in marble and travelled through time and space to sit in the same park overlooking South London for the last 170 years, while world wars, fires, explosions, royalty, music events, funfairs and circuses have rushed past her in endless succession. <br /> This ‘moment’ is the only constant in a story of splendour and spectacle, and like all the best stories, if only half of it is true it is still an incredible tale.

Joy, It's Nina Joy, It's Nina

Director: Jane Thorburn
