Synopsis

An homage to experimental silent film, this music video is a punk rock/indie anthem and a hybrid of renaissance and contemporary performance. Inspired by the Passion of Joan of Arc, the project is a collaborative exploration of influences translated into a DIY celebration of exceptional local talent – completely indie with a lot of ambition. The band members are presented as moving sculptures; with their unmoved demeanor. One is left with the impression that the Jury would prefer that the victim be erased from the public memory. Certain court cases are never ending for a reason, and in certain countries death penalties are still in place no matter what god or a political leader. Judgement day is creative anecdote on what a build up to a death sentence could be. What is this inquisition? How can this courtroom be a farse, and what is fair at the end of this day – you be the judge of that.
