Brodka – “Game Change”

Lots of wonderfully weird elements to this video for Brodka self-directed by Brodka and Przemek Dzienis. Shot in Warsaw by cinematographer Kajetan Plis (previously featured here), “Game Change” explores the effect gender roles have had on society, an issue that is especially pressing in Poland. As Brodka states:

“While making the video for Game Change, I was inspired by the story of the Albanian Sworn Virgins. Women who, by taking a vow of chastity, take on a male role in society while gaining all the privileges associated with being a man. They are treated as men but can keep their feminine names.”
