The Hierophant (2020)
The Hierophant is a personal archived footage film that expresses the duality I was experiencing at the time. During the first stages of Covid-19, I let go for the first time in a very long time. For me, that meant no longer clinging to the things in my control that made me feel safe from before. My life has continually been altering in drastic ways out of my control; this time, it was happening to the rest of the world too.
In the most drastic ways, that meant my vanity. I had reverted into a state basing my self-worth on my appearance; if I felt pretty, I felt in control and safe. I no longer had anyone to put my amour on for, so I was confronted with why I did this.
The inner conflict comes from the relief yet also a deep sense of longing. Through that, I found tarot reading, the core of the film.
The film’s title is The Hierophant. Education, Learning, Marriage, Religion, Seeking counsel or advice, Spiritual guidance, Tradition.
