NOTES

Title from title frames

This feature documentary dives into the allure and transformative power of the universal myth of mermaids; from the sirens of ancient lore to a new subculture of tail-donning women who beckon us into their sometimes humorous and at other times deeply poetic underwater worlds. Official Selection at the **Hot Docs Film Festival**. *"Weinstein finds poignancy in the tales of the tails and Catherine Lutes' stunning underwater photography just might send you out searching for a fish tail of your own."* - Bruce DeMara, ***The Toronto Star*** *"Weinstein treats her subjects with compassion and empathy, while offering curious audiences a nicely cut look at one of the world's little-known subcultures. Under the sea, it sounds good to me."* - Barry Hertz, ***The Globe and Mail***
