Filmmaker Donna Read and
writer Starhawk formed Belili Productions after they completed their award-winning series
on Women and Spirituality, produced by the National Film Board
of Canada. (Goddess Remembered, The Burning Times, and
Full Circle) Sharing a similar vision, they both wanted to
continue their work together in making movies that raise consciousness
about issues affecting women and the earth.
In 1993, they were asked to
make a documentary on the life and work of Marija Gimbutas. Signs
Out of Time was the result. A labor of love, especially after
the death of Dr. Gimbutas in February 1994, this project was
made possible by the contributions of time and money given by
hundreds of individuals who believed in the importance of this
documentary.
Starhawk writes: "I only
met Marija once, but her work was a great inspiration and confirmation
of the ancient roots of the Goddess movement. Marija was a theologian,
whose work gifts us with a complex and deeply meaningful symbol
system that honors the cycles of regeneration."
Donna Read says: "Working
on the film has deeply enriched my life. As a visual artist,
I've been inspired and transformed by the many hours I've spent
looking at the images of her discoveries."
