So many lovely shots in this video for Kris Kelly’s track “Birthplace” by Berlin-based director Adi Halfin (previously featured here). While the lyrics explore the examination and dissection of one’s own genesis, the concept for the visuals ultimately came about when Kelly was introduced to Halfin via fellow Lief director Alma Har’el. As Halfin explains:
“My first intuition when listening to ‘Birthplace’ was to create a film about travelling. Something about the music and the lyrics felt like a voyage through an enigmatic country. I wanted to give the viewer a feeling of encountering different people in different parts of the world — each one experiencing something strong, which connects them together subconsciously.”
