With intricate and emotional choreography by Holly Blakey, compelling cinematography by Ben Todd, and some slick VFX from Electric Theatre Collective, Ben Strebel's return to music videos is a powerful portrait of lockdown aftershock.
Backed by Skrillex, Starrah & Four Tet’s new track Butterflies, the Biscuit Filmworks director's piece flits between high-drama, tomfoolery and sublime synchronicity, punctuated with ghostly visual motifs that anchor the sense of loss and anxiety.
With weeks spent working with his cast; carrying out interviews with each member about their personal experiences over the past year and which eventually formed the emotional and narrative basis of the film; Strebel has created a film the exemplifies the feeling, as expressed by one young cast member of "[not] growing older because we haven’t had a chance to live for a year.”
