Savannah Setten's Arrival and its cast of real inmates

Collaborating once again with Californian psych-rock outfit slenderbodies, Pulse Films director Savannah Setten brings us Arrival, a powerful music video shot and set within the confines of a high security prison in Ukraine.

Featuring a cast of real inmates (no actors were used at all), the film offers an intimate insight into what life inside looks like, and explores the mental toll it takes and how they - for all their sins - find way to cope.

Speaking of the film, Setten says, "It’s almost impossible to imagine what must go through the human mind when facing ten years or more within the confinement of a prison, away from family, the people you love, freedom. As it was for these young men, developing a mechanism to live and exist in this other world, a creation of their imagination, became an essential part of self preservation; a way to humanely exist whilst waiting on years of time to pass.

"We hoped to blur the watchers understanding of what was the men’s physical prison reality or in fact lucid figments of each of their imaginations and longing for a different life. There isn’t a definitive answer, what you conclude is up to you."
