"Night of the Tilberi” was filmed and directed by Lisa Saeboe and Kate Jones in Skagaströnd, Iceland.
Inspired by the occult lore surrounding the fishing village’s founder, an arcane prophetess named Þórdís, the film is a tale of the local legend of the Tilberi, an enchanted milk-stealing worm created by witches. It depicts the sacrifice and trickery it takes to spawn the Tilberi, and how it meets a tragic end when a close-minded townsperson discovers the witch's secret. “Night of the Tilberi” is the absurdist visual retelling of a local folktale that subdues themes of the sacrilegious in an uncanny artifact.
Lisa and Kate are visual artists and filmmakers based in New York and Los Angeles.
The original score was composed by Brooklyn-based producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Rare DM, using all analog synths. It was mixed in Montreal by Margo Wildman.
