Awakening of 12 Strands - Movie by Sandra Daroy

I've only watched it now and I think it is a very extraordinary movie, with unique methods of expression.

I believe it deserves some promotion.

It has just been released on vimeo on demand, i.e. you rent it to stream for 1 year for about 5$. But as a hardware believer I'm looking forward to a possible DVD release in the future.

It is said to be a low or almost no-budget production, which is basically guarantee for lofi effects and diy. Just what I like!

In some way the movie reminds me of the great films of David Lynch. This is obviously not comparable due to lack of some millions budget but let's see what her future projects will be.

Very mysterious atmosphere, subjective storytelling, and not to forget: Fantastic drone sounds throughout the movie! If you haven't rented the movie yet it's just a preview below, otherwise you could watch it from here, or on vimeo:

Topics : Public Health Biochemistry Manipulations (Religious AI MK E.T. etc) Spiritual UFO Shamanism Rituals Extraterrestrial life forms Hypnosis etc.

As well disclosing one dark topic that people rarely are aware of and talk about. A specific element that exist and effects lives either directly or indirectly through family and friends. Movie highlights atleast 5 different aspects that can effect peoples lives and if not acknowledged through awareness can completely mislead and possibly destroy. The movie is 1.45 h long and actual version should be 3 h or a TV series. Due to length of movie briefly outlines solutions and remedies.

------------- A great part of the movie the viewer seems to move through the world in a dream like, hypnotic state. Not too many explanations given, no spoon feeding, slowly a picture emerges. The dialogues are sometimes a bit of the Starship Enterprise kind, actors standing still and static and saying their part, clearly reminding the viewer they are acting (breaking the illusion). One might say it's children playing but even people I would consider professional public speakers are guilty of it too. However it needs to be said that this does not take away or distract much from the overall atmosphere and feeling in the movie. Not disturbing and just a detail.
Another detail I noticed, probably originating from the same working method, and in my view a very positive thing is how natural the outdoors and in particular the city scenes feel. There haven't been streets closed for filming, everything natural, just as it is. The people do people things like taking a rucksack, real traffic, this combined with the effects makes it feel like a real subjective perspective again.
The film uses a very unconventional and interesting stylistic element by portraying (as it seems) a part of a certain character's personality (or psyche) by a separate personalization behind them, that also interact with things that happen (and not just as an image).
I will update this with more insight (hopefully) after watching it a couple more times (I'm also no native english speaker so I may have to repeat some passages in order to really get it) and maybe after discussing it with friends who are actually far better suited for a review than I am. ------------- See here for her recent appearance on the HPANWO Radio show,

------------- I'm not affiliated with Sandra Daroy or the movie, I just thought it would be good to help getting the word out, I'm sure there are other people interested in this style of movie and/or the subject.
