Paul Kalkbrenner – “Parachute”

Beautiful video for Paul Kalkbrenner’s new single by London-based director Taisia Deeva. Oscillating between hope and despair, “Parachute” offers a slice of surrealist optimism set against the stark backdrop of a brutalist Kiev housing complex. Here characters leap out of 30 story windows, soaring hundreds of feet in the air, all out of a desperate yet shared desire for human connection. Watch above and see full credits below!
