Five years in the making, Lawrence Jordan's feature-length "alchemical autobiography" Sophie's Place takes as its inspiration the story of the Greek goddess of wisdom, Sophia. Writes Jordan, "I must emphasize that I do not know the exact significance of any of the symbols in the film any more than I know the meaning of my dreams... I hope that the symbols and the episodes set off poetic associations in the viewer. I mean them to be entirely open to the viewer's own interpretation."
A five-year project of hand-painted cut-out animation, this story goes from a paradisaical garden to the interior of the Mosque of St. Sophia, and centers around Sophia, an early Greek and Gnostic embodiment of spiritual wisdom.
