In Sirens Call we follow Una—a mer-identified nomad—as she drifts across America, an uncanny traveler navigating a world that’s both dazzling and unwelcoming. The film refuses tidy categorization. It conjures an uncanny balm where road-movie momentum meets ritual, where intimate self-expression and subtle protest harmonize in neon diner booths, shimmering hotel corridors, and wind-swept stretches of highway. Una’s body is a political terrain: at once mythical and earthly, resistant to erasure. Alongside her, other merfolk appear—not allegories but self-possessed beings forging kinship amid structural hostility. With fluid pacing and poetics, Gossing & Sieckmann invite us into a space where mythology isn’t escapism but a choreography of resistance, belonging, and transformation.
Sirens Call
A queer performance through shifting landscapes: a nomadic siren seeking belonging in a fractured world where myth and identity entwine.
