BLYTH
This short film music video hybrid is an exploration of the witch burnings and the dancing plagues of the 16th Century which swept across Europe like wildfire. The film itself wanted to explore a surrealist take on these topics, as well as creating a realm for viewers to dive into, as it is færy’s debut single. Liana Cornell and Tom Dream came together to explore this world, weaving magic throughout the film’s experience, coupled with the healing frequencies of the music itself, as well as mysterious symbolism linking back to real pagan practices performed by Liana’s matriarchal ancestors. It is an exploration of what it means to be feminine, regardless of gender. It is a permission to be wild, to lose oneself in the chaos magic of the unknown and to answer the howling of our inner call to dance to our own blaze of individual heart fire we each contain. Shot in the moorland of Cornwall, Liana’s patriarchal ancestral lands, nature plays a large part in the creation of this world, as do the wonderful performers hired to encapsulate the witches and townspeople who seek to destroy them.
