“Delphinium: A Childhood Portrait of Derek Jarman” is a stylized and lyrical coming-of-age portrait of Derek Jarman’s artistic, sexual, and political awakening in post-War England. Part biographical narrative, part experimental collage, part personal meditation on the most controversial and important modern British artist and activist, the film finds in Jarman’s childhood the stirrings of creative and individual epiphany that inspired a remarkable life. Written and directed by Matthew Mishory, the film was shot in Super 8 and HD by cinematographer Lili Wilde and features an original score by Arban and Steven Severin of Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Glove. Eastman Kodak Grand Prize for Best Short Film, 2010 United States Super 8 and DV Film Festival
