Inspired by innovators like Mos Def and legends Fela Kuti and Tabu Ley, Noirwave encompasses a ‘new African aesthetic’.The video explores the modern day ‘Noirwave’ Africa. It examines the perception of Africa as a ‘dark continent’, largely unknown, exotic and distant. It shows the forward-thinking, progressive Africa and illustrates what Ilunga calls the ‘Noirwave’ movement. It looks at how only through visiting the continent can anyone gain a sense of one of its most fascinating features, that of its split identity; how incredibly and indescribably beautiful it is on the one hand, yet on the other hand, how raw and unforgiving it can be.‘La Vie Est Belle / Life Is Beautiful’ will be released on 11th September 2015.Director: Travys Owen https://vimeo.com/travysowenDOP: Michael Cleary https://vimeo.com/michaelclearyDigital Art Direction, Animation, Compositing, Colouring : Dylan Wrankmore https://vimeo.com/user1362659Edited by: Lucian BarnardArt Direction: Rochelle NembhardWardrobe and Styling: Gabrielle KannemeyerHair and Makeup Amber Recha Caplan and Amori BirchFocus Puller: Tim ChristokatDIT: Marina KorskowaSpark: Faud CaskerPhotographic Assistant: Jesse FineProduced By Travys Owen in association with Domino Recording Co
