In this exclusive behind-the-scenes introduction from Director Sil van Der Woerd, we hear how and why Novo Amor's stunning Birthplace video was conceptualised and created. The introduction is then followed by the music video, which features a breathtaking 30metre whale made out of bamboo and plastic waste.

The Birthplace music video was featured in 20+ International Film Festivals, and won Video Of The Year at the UK Independent Music Award 2018, UK, and Best Music Video at the prestigious Camerimage Film Festival, Poland.

We are grateful to have shared this beautiful film as part of the Creative Green Awards 2019 during our ceremony at the Curzon Bloomsbury cinema.
