| Abstract / Summary: | Shamanic Journey is a collaboration between filmmaker Julian Konczak and choreographer Sapphire Sumpter. The film incorporates ancient sites and the wildness of the West Penwith landscape with a choreographed dance sequence unfolding across underground caves and wide-open heaths. The camera remains static, allowing the performance to portray transitions into the archetypal spaces of shamanic journeying – the upper world and lower worlds of compassionate spirits that reveal elements of the soul to the self. The film draws on a distinct visual style that evokes the soul’s existence across multiple worlds and the magical properties of the elements. Shamanic Journey selected for Kerala Short Film Festival, March 2024 Shamanic Journey selected for Discover Indie Film TV, March 2024 Shamanic Journey, winner of Best Experimental Film at Style Experimental Film and Music Video Festival, February 2024 Shamanic Journey official selection for Rogue Dancer Film Festival, January 2024 Shamanic Journey awarded Best Music Video at Around International Film ARFF Barcelona, December 2023 Shamanic Journey awarded prize for best in southwest EDIFF (Exeter Dance International Film Festival), October 2023 |
