“Only when I was singing did I feel loved... to sing is an expression of your being, a being which is becoming.” –  Maria Callas

In MARIA, a new experimental film by Nina Danino, Maria Callas is seen in recordings of different performances – Norma, Tosca, Medea.  She is transfigured in an audio-visual iconostasis (a wall of icons) of different archive formats and newly shot footage. Maria is a hypnotic, cinematic and transcendent vision of an icon, an artist and a woman.
