Jerez of Babylon

Álvaro Gestoso, Luis Rodríguez, Antonio Bellido, 2012 | ZEMOS98 (Spain)

Jerez de Babylon is a song about the way of living in the south of Spain, the cultural things that make us different. For this production we chose a song we could easily film, so when we started filming we knew we had to go to the most emblematic places in Jerez. There are some of the most characteristic monuments, celebrities and places in the city, stressing the multicultural side of it. This video was produced by Álvaro Gestoso, Luis Rodríguez and Antonio Bellido, and belongs to a series proposed by ZEMOS98 under 'Urban Culture' and 'Local Heroes' categories. ZEMOS98 asked ten sevillian video artists for small pieces reflecting youth getting ahead with their projects, urban sports and appropiation of public areas or urban artistic expressions.
