Bear’s Den – „Laurel Wreath“ (Regie: Jungle)
Bear’s Den sind ein Folk-Pop-Act aus dem UK; sie laden diesen gefühligen, Mumford & Sons-artigen Song mit Pathos auf („You don’t have to be lonely alone / I could be there in a heartbeat“). Jungle sind ein Regisseurs-Duo aus Brasilien und erklären ihr Video so:
„Our story takes place in the strange neighborhood of Marzahn-Hellersdorf. A stronghold of the Berlin extreme right, it is populated with an influx of immigrants that have settled there over the past century. German war returnees, Italian immigrants, Soviet union expatriates, Iranians evacuees, Turkish settlers and more recent Syrian refugees. They all live in the same building complex, Berlin’s Plattenbau: giant settlements constructed of large, prefabricated concrete slabs. Social buildings. A human collective. In the private cubicle they call home, there is this underlying feeling of loneliness. Layers and layers of people stashed above each other separated by 50cm walls. Experiencing a silent drama. Sharing only this common feeling of isolation. Other partitions, other universes. Side by side. They are lonely together.“
Einsam in der Großstadt. Willkommen in Berlin.
