Description

As part of the BFI's Coast and Sea project, Malojian's Stevie Scullion worked with filmmaker Colm Laverty  on a series of audio-visual collaborations that creatively repurpose  content from Northern Ireland Screen's Digital Film Archive.

The result was a series of live performances and inspired music videos - one for each song on the album, Let Your Weirdness Carry You Home.

'Purity of Your Smile' is a tender paean to Scullion's daughter, the soothing melody twinned with intimate home movie footage to captivating effect.
