Desert Haiku

🎞️ Movie 13 min --
2014

'Desert Haiku' is a short film-poem designed as an intriguing ode to the soulful American Southwest. It explores the memory of the desert through the fusion of modern technology and ancient landscapes. Re-imagining mythologies based on personal experience, the film plays with the idea of morphic resonance, where the sublime meets the real, and worlds may collide and fuse in history-defying moments. Deserts were once oceans, and the narrative lead is that of finding water, as a metaphor for finding oneself. It features outstanding talent from an Yaqui opera singer to a young Hopi/Navajo boy, professional dancers and a renowned Japanese performer.
