That looks a bit hairy to me. You could do an excavation and try to get some from deeper in the container to use to inoculate some fresh flour and water. Use a different spoon to get your inoculation sample to try to avoid contamination with the mold. You might be lucky and get going inside a couple of feeds. You would run the risk that there would still be mold spores present and you might be no better off.
If you did try this approach, I would also start out on a new starter from scratch (have a read of the Beginners Blogs here if you need a refresher) and you will then be part way along the track if the revival trial did not work out.

Good luck with your projects.
