ARCHIO is a 7-minute video poem as science-fiction liturgy, derived from a secular pilgrimage to the Agion Oros—the autonomous Orthodox monastic community of Mt. Athos, on the Chalkadiki Peninsula of northern Greece.

Video, text, voice, and field recordings by Jeff Wood. Original score, Yawning of the River, by Stephen Wood.

This project was made possible by a 2014 NYFA Screenwriter's Fellowship, and is dedicated to my grandmother, Phyllis.
