The Independent Film Channel’s IFC.com is hosting an exclusive premiere of the second short film based on our recently released Seu Jorge and Almaz album. The films star Jorge and were directed by Kahlil Joseph.
This film – loosely based around Almaz’s cover of Kraftwerk’s “The Model” – captures Jorge as he delves into his subconscious to examine the figure of a recurring dream: a woman – a model – who taunts and arouses; comforts and scares; perplexes and completes him. Presented by Now-Again Records and What Matters Most; exclusively (with an interview by Jorge) available at IFC.com
Watch: Seu Jorge and Almaz’s “The Model Chapter Two: Oshun and The Dream” at IFC.com.
