Calum’s latest production is the film ‘WORSHIP’ which has begun the year winning awards on both sides of the Atlantic.
Delving deep into the mysterious realms of dreams and the subconscious, Worship is the stunning story built on a father’s legacy and last words to his three young sons. Award-winning director Calum Macdiarmid brought together his family and friends in his unnervingly beautiful and intriguing short film debut, starring his own brother – Fionn Macdiarmid – in the lead role.
Worship tells the disturbing story of a young man who dares to look deep into his own dreams to confront the oppressive religion of his father. Based on extracts from A Century of Insight by eminent psychotherapist Dr Derry Macdiarmid, the film explores the impact of Nietzsche, Freud and Jung on the mind of a young man struggling to keep the faith. A Century of Insight was Dr Macdiarmid's life work, completed on his deathbed in 2005. The book brings the history of psychotherapy to life through the author’s own dreams and revelations. In Worship, Calum Macdiarmid translates his father’s vision into moving imagery, weaving together some of the most significant of those dreams and ending with the final, poignant words which were in reality his father's last.
