The Call of the Wild

DirectorsMonster Chetwynd, Zoë Brown

2007
6 min

Spartacus (one of the previous names for Monster Chetwynd) spent September 2006 living in Edinburgh, where she worked with different women she met, including students on a pattern-cutting course, a knitting demonstrator and a costumier. Together they devised a trip to the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles to make the short film The Call of the Wild. The film twins events on Lewis with the women’s lives in urban Edinburgh. The finished film draws on cinematic influences such as Walkabout, Picnic at Hanging Rock and the anthropological film Les maîtres fous by Jean Rouch.
