During our stay in South Africa earlier this year we fell in love with the sound of the Johannesburg based duo Club Valley. Our short film here embodies that first impression and their new ecstatic love song called “Ilah’s Dream”.

It’s the second time we sat down with fellow filmmaker Lukas Tielke. After his film Phoenix made it into our third Episode, Lukas just premiered his short documentary named after the main protagonist. Burrnesha[s]. The day before his first screening we found a little time to video call each other and talk about the project.

    Lisbon is a vivid city, packed with stories, old and new ones. It’s probably one of our favorite cities we have been to when it comes to meeting and engaging with other creatives.

We knew about them being around and creating music, but just now we got in touch with them – Some things happen when they are supposed to happen.
