Bell Orchestre – Upwards March from Kaveh Nabatian on Vimeo.

This is Upward March. It’s the experimental film that won at South by Southwest in 2008. It is by Kaveh Nabatian, director and musician. The soundtrack is signed Bell Orchestre, Kaveh’s band which incidentally won a Juno (best instrumental album of the year) just last week.

So yeah, he’s versatile and talented.

In this film, as in most of his work, Kaveh pushes artistic boundaries. His strong, well-composed visual esthetic is all his own. It’s, how shall we say, musical. We will post more stuff of his soon to illustrate this.

Among other things, he has directed a really cool music video for Torngat, a short apocalyptic film called Sunday Afternoon as well as other experimental films that you can see here on his profile.

We’re really excited to work with Kaveh. He has just returned from the Aeolian Islands, off the coast of Sicily, where he isolated himself to pen the script for his very first feature-length film called Ricochet, slated to go into production (Kinesis) in the next year.
