The authors of the sensational hit August - Intelligency band - released a new video for the song "Belarusian malitva".
The action takes place at night in a huge surreal scenery built on abandoned factory. The idea of the clip is inspired by the Belarusian puppet theater - batleyka.
Video writers, production directors DVAcinema Masha Monakova and Dmitry Levkovsky, say:
– We have rethought the idea of the traditional butleika. People's ideas about the structure of the world have become more complicated, so our batleika looks in a new way. We used the works of the modern Belarusian artist Nastya Rydlevskaya as pictures of paradise, and the costumes and accessories for the main characters were provided by contemporary Belarusian designers.
“Throughout the project, strange coincidences and signs haunted us, and the shooting itself took place on the shortest night of the year. The result is a terrible fairy tale about the modern Belarusian reality, filled with metaphors and symbols.
The band itself appears in the clip in the form of modern "Bremen Town Musicians"telling us this tale.
- I always wanted to write a composition atypical for myself, and even in the Belarusian language. We hope the listener will like this Belarusian vibe, somewhat separate from our work. I would like to believe that this will be one of the loudest, brightest and most interesting releases in electronic music in the Belarusian language in recent years, say members of Intelligency.
