Overview
"Nimueh is a hybrid 16mm and digital experimental film that explores the local folklore and mythology surrounding the death of Hallie Latham Illingworth, whose body was found floating in Washington state's Lake Crescent in 1937 about four years after her death, partially preserved by the lake's frigid water. The only documentation of Hallie's life is in a slim, self-published, and sensational true crime novel titled The Lady of the Lake; dissatisfied with this reduction of Hallie's life, Nimueh uses archival material, local imagery, voiceover, and text to engage with the landscape of Lake Crescent and with Hallie's legacy, along with the folkloric tradition of "ladies of the lake." Nimueh explores the relationship between sex and violence as it pertains to Hallie's murder and violence against women in general against the backdrop of a remote natural landscape, at once beautiful and terrifying." -- Abstract
