Julia Holter has gone back to Aviary – one of Live4ever’s albums of 2018 – with a video for Les Jeux To You.
“After I heard ‘Les Jeux to You’, images from Fando Y Lis, a film that has always haunted me, flooded my mind and I knew we had to reimagine it,” director Geneva Jacuzzi explains. “Set in a dystopian future past, the two lovers escape to a mythical city and along the way are confronted with both terrifying figures of the unconscious and joyful memories of the past that accelerate a descent into madness.”
“As a female artist, I felt the need to explore the anima of this myth and reinscribe the imagery as a mode of empowerment of the feminine directorial gaze.”
“I knew it would be a challenge because it is a controversial film, but it was particularly unsettling to read the recent allegations against its director Alejandro Jodorowsky shortly after we made the video.”
Some new UK and European shows have also been confirmed, and will include stops at the Primavera, Field Day and Roskilde festivals.
