Caroline Rose has showcased multiple musical styles since their 2014 debut album, never afraid to evolve in public. Their recently-released album, The Art of Forgetting, is their most dynamic and raw work yet.
To accompany the album, Caroline created a series of music videos that piece together like a short film. Via a series of time-warped loops, each chapter weaves together a story of Caroline navigating through a transformative heartbreak. A loose recreation of some events in their life, the film accomplishes a fever-dream, Old Hollywood-esque feel through continuous shots and discontinuous narrative.
Directed by Samuel Aaron Bennett, the film won Best Music Video at Hollywood Shortsfest and NY Indie Shorts Awards, was a semi-finalist at Cannes Indie Shorts Awards and Venezia Shorts Italy, and has been selected for several other festivals worldwide.
