“SONG FOR HARON (III)” (00:04:24) by Janja Rakuš, Slovenia, 2023
No living being can cross the Styx, only those who are destined for the Kingdom of the Spirits I will ferry across.
Brief and quick cinematic gaze into the eternal mythology of the Underworld. If the first Song evokes dark waters of river Styx, second illuminates the presence of psychopomp Haron in splendour of Paradise, than the third Song reveals the journey of Haron through otherworldly landscapes into the depth and core of the planet Earth.

Pebbles Underground is focused on showcasing and promoting experimental, avant-garde, underground, and no-to-low budget projects by artist-humans from all over the world. Absurd, uncanny, witty, humorous, slow-video – all are welcomed, and loved.
Pebbles Underground is an independent project not funded by any government or corporation, and we intend to keep it that way. Main source of funding is personal donations from humans organizing the project, who are artists themselves, and the main drive of the project is formed by the energy and involvement of the organizers, and the public.
