Kwoon “King of Sea” Music Video by Stéphane Berla

“Although we had worked together on several projects before, it was only during the first COVID confinement that the opportunity to make an animated music film came. Sandy had already started his project of playing his music live in totally isolated places and his new goal was particularly crazy: he wanted to be dropped off by a boat on the cursed lighthouse of Tévennec.

“He sent me his song, and the story of this sailor who wanted to be stranded at the foot of this mythical lighthouse so as not to be swallowed by the sea, haunted me. I absolutely had to make a film about this.”

Director Stéphane Berla: “I discovered Kwoon [Sandy Lavallart] at the Georges Pompidou Centre in 2008 during a music video festival. I saw the video clip ‘I Lived on the Moon’ and I realized we shared the same taste for poetic worlds tinged with darkness and melancholy.
