Set to Nathaniel Mayer’s R&B classic “Village of Love,” this music video reimagines the song’s theme of communal belonging through the residents of Bombay Beach, a desert town on the shore of the polluted Salton Sea. Against a landscape of shoreline ruins, Dadaesque art, and ecological decline, the film shows how artistic expression and environmental concern become forms of survival that allow a fragile community to hold itself together in a decaying but cherished place.
