The first installment of a longer series of films using the figure of Hermanubis, a Hellenistic-Egyptian deity combining Hermes and Anubis, as a starting point for thinking about hybridized identities, magic and the occult. This first episode focuses on the story of the filmmaker's family, Greeks who came to the United States from Turkey in the early 20th Century, growing up in the Greek Orthodox Church, self-initiation into magic, and relocation to Cairo, Egypt.
First Hermanubis: Initiation (2023) is currently not available on any services.
