Saam Farahmand's new video for Simian Mobile Disco, vocals by Beth Ditto
fall/winter 2009/10

What’s shocking on a wilful dis-orientation?

Saam Farahmand has directed the movie ‘Ghost’ for Alexander McQueen/Puma FW2009, brought the words of Hercules and Love Affair for the track 'Blind' into motion. In December 2009 he is bespoken once again intensively on the internet.

In November 2009, he presented the extract from his short film ‘A Study After Cruel Intentions’ for the track ‘Cruel Intentions’ by Simian Mobile Disco feat. Beth Ditto from the SMD-album 'Temporary Pleasure'. The video shows five women; you will find humorous articles about the needle in the armbit scenes, and articles that thematize the disorientation and "shocking journey at the end of a long, lost evening" (Music-News.com). What’s shocking on a wilful disorientation? Probably the discussion about this extraordinary music video will hold on. Matthew Richardson on Prefixmag.com writes: "Does that chick who looks like a ginger Anna Wintour instigate some kind of sapphic orgy?"
