Director Joscha Bongard perfectly captures the sensation of living through moments that already feel like memories in this video for GiiRL’s track “Downtown.” Following a group of four friends navigating the uncertainty of youth, Bongard explains:
“The video tells from the fine differences between friendship, love and sexual attraction – especially between the two boys. It’s an ode to freedom and melancholy after passing your finals. A lot of changes and the pressure of taking decisions that will affect your whole life.”
