Optimist from Brian Thomson on Vimeo.

Bran Thompson made this video from footage taken at the annual Holi Festival at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah. The song is “Optimist” is by Zoe Keating.
Early March saw the annual spring Festival of Color, or Holi, in the Hindu world. If you are a clean freak, then Holi may not be for you. As part of the festival it is people’s religious duty to splatter, smatter and smother as many others as possible with colored paint and water. As religious festivals go, this is one of the messier.
