2019 Music Shorts Film Festival
As songstress Nadia Schilling's rich, folksy voice spins a tale of wistful romance, a gorgeous, patchwork landscape reveals itself. The beautiful music video for Schilling's single "Kite" looks like an animated collage pieced together from carefully-selected vintage illustrations. The brainchild of animator João Pombeiro, the video for "Kite" is an inventive take on the lyric video, with cut-away phrases that crawl across the frame and look keyed by a typewriter. The lush, mountainous terrain and a sweetly kissing couple harkens to an older, simpler time. As Schilling croons about a wayward lover, you can feel her yearn for the idealized world in her imagination. The final third of the video adds a touch of reality to the fabricated scenes, as a live-action woman on a train silently regards the passing patchwork landscape. It's an interesting confluence of fact and fiction and makes "Kite" a soulful meditation on the realities we yearn for versus the ones we're in.
