Little Simz 'Stillness In Wonderland' by Jeremy Cole
Luke Bather - 20th Dec 2016
Little Simz and Jeremy Cole collaborate on the ambitious 15-minute film Stillness in Wonderland.
Shot in the ruins of a dilapidated house over the course of two days, performances go hand-in-hand with monologues as Little Simz tries to escape herself to learn more about who she is. The run-down hall of mirrors is littered with visual metaphors and the slow, woozy camera movements are designed to disorient the viewer leaving them just as lost in this unconscious maze.
Â
JEREMY COLE:
"Shot over two days entirely in one location, the film is influenced by the album's themes of inner conflict as we wander through a house representative of Little Simz's subconscious. The film features performances from a handful of tracks as we follow her through an impossible collection of rooms dressed by her memories and fears.
"At the core of the story is a character trapped in the conflict of needing to escape reality to find the truth."
