Santiago Posada directs a stunning video for Chiléan artist Miraclis - aka Max Clementi - drawing upon traditions in rural Columbia spanning nearly 300 years. The music video for Scienter - from the just-released debut album Origin Of Truth - is inspired by the horsemen who have been gathering since 1735, dressed up in self-made costumes, to celebrate an equestrian spectacle, which represents the battles between indigenous people, Africans, Moors and Spaniards in the 18th century.Anchored by a stirring performance from first-time actor Pacho Toro, the video is a breathtaking amalgamation of concept, culture and cinematography, masterfully executed by director Santiago Posada, the DoP Omar Gutierrez, and team. The filmmakers visited the rural community over a period of three years in order to get access and shape the story based on the myths and tales from the elders - a huge commitment which has paid off in the project's authenticity.
