Entelechy Short Film
Project Type
Short Film
Date
2016
Writer/Director
This fictional short was written and directed by Delawari, produced by artist-curator Nicole Disson (Sleepover LA, THE SERIES), and follows Delawari through a guided, shamanic dream-state. It’s a mystical musical that introduces the album’s themes of spirituality and self-discovery presented as a film about the state of the world, the destruction of the earth, and a dream of a brighter unified future.
Delawari began recording Entelechy I in 2014, “but then I started seeing visuals and was like ‘Oh wow, this is a film’. I had been traveling to all these countries and wanted to communicate the message of what I had seen.” She began filming in early 2015. Once Entelechy I was finished, Delawari followed with the second volume of her album and the premiere of the short at the Cleveland International Film Festival in April 2016. The film is an experimental, docu-musical about global warming and changing the dream. A woman is guided by a dream therapist onto a shamanic journey through the inner and outer worlds of being. Within the dream state she works to shift her dream to a vision of love, and in doing so succeeds in shifting the universal dream as well.
