‘Familial’ Director - Ayla Amano – Music Video (running time 5 mins)
Musician Daithí chose to collaborate with New Zealand filmmaker Ayla Amano in the ambitious project, which aims to explore the ways families and communities communicate with one another; what is said and what is unsaid. What is spoken about through language and what is spoken about in more subtle, non-verbal ways. Common themes are explored between family relationships in rural Ireland and in New Zealand, in an attempt to ultimately say something about the world at large.
