Sunflowers – A Strange Feeling of Existential Angst

Carolina Bonzinho, Leander Meresaar

Portugal / Estonia

2023, 4'

A music video of chaotic energy and body horror for the single “A Strange Feeling of Existential Angst” of the latest album by the band Sunflowers.

Eye. Rhythm. Flower. Action. Fingers-worms-pens. Smiling psychedelic trip. Broken teeth. The world through our eyes. All the senses on alert. This is a film that functions as a microcosm of sensations in which all our senses are summoned into this universe: sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. Each one in its own way and with a special intervention. It’s a delirium of contagious energy that throws us onto a safe trapeze. (Miguel Valverde)

Anima

Anima, the Latin word for air, breath, wind and vitality translates here into a slow wandering. The air flowing through an ocarina guides the movements of light and shadow as they reveal themselves, leaving their burnt impression on film.

Love is What You See

Oranges, or “apples of paradise”, once considered the source of eternal youth, can be eaten or squeezed. They can be sour or sweet, like love. In the morning it’s gold, in the afternoon silver and at night it kills. Modern myths about insomnia and other emotional plagues.
