Being trapped in an invisible cage, the video captures more than just the struggle to escape – it reflects the boundaries we face, both imposed by society and within ourselves. Part of THE SILVER CAGE, this is a story about confronting limits, embracing individuality, and redefining what it means to be free. ---------------------------------------------------

In dance, soul becomes body. Whenever body and soul become one, the human being is ultimately vulnerable. We asked 12 people to dance their pain away. To overcome their fears, worries, shame. To give themselves freedom. No one is better or worse than the other, everyone is different, everyone has the liberty to be their true selves.

A film by Nicola von Leffern Music by HVOB Edit & Grading by Franz Brandl In collaboration with tfcitd.comHVOB - Bloom (Fink Remix)HVOB2019-09-17 | Skating is forbidden by the police in Uganda. They claim it is used as a tool for thugs and thieves, saying they use the skill of weaving through traffic to snatch things from cars and trucks. But for many young Ugandans it is passion, which provides a new sense of pride and self-expression.
But a few youngsters who fell in love with the sport, started to use their skates to get around the city for free by holding on to the backs of minibuses or motorbikes on uphill sections and overtaking them on the downhill parts. This is how the filmmakers Nicola von Leffern & Jakob Carl Sauer first took notice of them, which ended in a film-like chase through all of Kampala.
Brian (@brianclearlevel) from the Clear Level Crew invited them into his world. For him, skating is much more than a sport. It is a mindset.
The music video is an exerpt of an upcoming documentary film by Nicola von Leffern & Jakob Carl Sauer.

––– Director‘s Statement:
Anna Margarethe van der Merwe (nee Roux) was born on the 24th of December 1904 in the small farming town of Worcester in the Western Cape of South Africa. Known to me as my great grandmother - Ouma Annie.
Growing up I was totally unaware that I had a filmmaker in the family. When her son passed (my grandfather) some years back, I inherited all of her 16mm & 8mm footage shot between the 1920’s and 1960’s. What started as a casual trip down memory lane through old family footage, soon turned into an exploration of human society’s and behavior around the world.
As a young South African woman, my Ouma Annie was lucky enough to travel the world, documenting her experiences with her Arriflex Super 16 camera. In essence, this is her film.
Whilst sorting through about 250 hours of footage, I was consistently taken aback by her choice of framing, her use of camera movement, her fascination with loners and her completely unobtrusive approach to capturing her subjects. I have been told that she was a quite dreamer. The perfect candidate to assume a fly on the wall position.
Making this film has been an exercise in micro-storytelling. I was presented with all of this material and my job was to assign meaning through the cut. I find it incredibly fascinating how associative our brains can be and how quickly this process happens. Within a matter of milliseconds we can develop a story from one image to the next. It’s what I love most about this project, that everyone will take their own personal meaning from the images based on their own life experiences.
I believe the aberrations of the film stock are complemented by the swing of the song. The whole movement of the song called for a slower and more considered imagery that although held your attention, still flickered between what may be dreams or reality. Every frame is a tiny story – full of camaraderie, problem solving, history, loss, gain, forgotten cities, family, childhood, rituals and natures’ wonder. It has been a pleasure to vacation from the modern world, if only for six minutes.HVOB – PanamaHVOB2019-02-22 | The track is taken from the album Rocco
Music meets video meets installation: The track 'Attention' is – like the electronic duo’s album 'Trialog' – the result of a trialogue with artist Clemens Wolf and the visual artists lichterloh. At the heart of the project are materials and the processes of their transformation, addressed on all three artistic levels and wrapped up in a single work. Each track is therefore a self-contained piece comprising installation, music and video.
