Today, on May 17, the premiere of the new music video of Jamala for the composition I Believe in U.
The video was directed by Igor Stekolenko, who shot more than a hundred video clips for Ukrainian and foreign artists, including "Ocean Elzy" and the band Brutto.
The shooting took three days and took place in Portugal - in the suburbs of Lisbon Sintra and Ericeira and in the Alentejo region.
In the filming of the video, the Portuguese actors Fabio Taborda and Vanessa Taborda (husband and wife who played the mother and father of the protagonist) took part, as well as Goncalo Vilardebo (the main character in adolescence).
The role of the adult main character in the video was played by Bruno Lagrange, known for his participation in the popular Portuguese TV series "The Queen of Flowers".
"This song is an appeal to all who have lost faith, all who need support and support. I would not like to tell a story, everyone should see their story. I can only say that the idea of ??the clip came to Igor Stekolenko when he first listened to the song.
There is an expression "everyone has his own cross," and in our history - everyone has his own boat, to which we, throughout life, collect thoughts, feelings, experiences, joys and adversities. Our hero "carries" her through life. He sinks, struggles with the elements, but passes all the trials, because he has faith. Without faith it is impossible to live! "- commented on the video of Jamal.
Note that the world premiere of the composition I Believe in U took place at the finals of "Eurovision-2017". The day before, on May 12, a solo concert of Jamala was held in Kyiv's Sports Palace.
