If Everything but the Kitchen Sink were a music video category, that’s where you’d find “Delirious (Confined).” Directed by Brice Blanloeil, this five-and-a-half minute movie features 14 musicians playing in separate venues in Portugal and France. The intensity of the performers is matched by an astonishing variety of visuals including toilet paper, pasta, digital warnings, and puppets. These images remind us that the movie was shot during COVID. “Delirious (Confined)” won Best@home COVID-19 Music Video at the Mindfield Film Festival (2020), The Jury Prize at the Tagore International Film Festival (2020), and the Festival Award at the MiMo Milano Mobile Film Festival (2021)
