Benidorm Dream
FRA 2015 5'01.10 SA 20.30, 02.10 SU 15.00 @Katowice City of Gardens: room 211
PERFORMED BY: Koudlam
DIRECTED BY: Jamie Harley
Unlike what adverts would have you believe, the Benidorm resort isn’t entirely made up of tourists hanging around pools. Koudlam shows the uglier, but also the more fascinating side of the city. There’s more to this tourist paradise than just a record-breaking hotel-to-citizen ratio. When the night comes, the city’s narrow streets lit up with neon lights when casinos and strip bars open. The perfectly built tension allows the viewer to get swallowed by the dark atmosphere. Koudlam, one of the most interesting contemporary French musicians, is not afraid to look into places nobody else dares to.
