Working from an original idea by Indochine frontman Nicola Sirkis, we took a train ride through 40 years of history, across an epic landscape filled with monuments to both our past and the modern moment. Onboard for the journey, we celebrate makers of culture (Bowie, Gainsbourg and Dumas), pass through moments of resistance (Tiananmen Square, the Berlin Wall, ACT-UP Paris) and take stock on events that have shaped the modern moment (Covid-19, the climate crisis, LGBTQ+ rights).
The video was directed by Sébastien Iglesias, a member of the BRVTVS collective here at Feed Me Light. He worked closely with Nicola and High Scream Productions, who commissioned us, in realising Nicola's vision for this train ride through his past.
The French-speaking contingent here at FML were particularly excited to work with an artist they all grew up listening to.
