DOCUMENTARY SHORT. Pointing a camera into the sun is as taboo as actively envisioning death. Death cannot be known and the human imagination is the only map. Despite the rich history of anthropological research into death, ritual and religion, there is less on dying as a stage of life, and even less on how humans imagine the unknowable. “The Last Lullaby” is a cine-exploration of some of humankind’s deepest existential questions, guided by Blessing, a soul midwife and threshold singer whose lifework has been to gently chaperone people to their last breath. The film breaks taboo by gazing into the sun, raising the question of whether facing death can be an exercise in creativity.
