The classic Slavic witch figure, Baba Jaga, is reimagined as a "prehistoric goddess from the times of the matriarchy” using found footage from the Polish Educational Film Studio archive. This transformation incites layered reflections on kinship and identity, guided by a child grappling with binary gender roles. The often sexist and anthropocentric images, created as didactic materials in the communist era, are repurposed into an emotive portrait of a multispecies matriarchal family seeking freedom and empowerment.
