Director Santiago Posada’s music video for Miraclis’ Scienter is rooted in a 280 year old rural Colombian tradition that centres on a gathering of the region’s horsemen, who present an equestrian spectacle exploring the battles between the indigenous people of years past. Taking over six years to make, Posada’s video is the product of his own journeys as a filmmaker to the festival on multiple occasions to garner research and get to know the locals. This in-depth approach is reflected in the construction of the video as Posada displays the traditions of these people intimately through a textured and mystical cinematic lens. Dn joined Posada for a conversation about the multiple trips he took to the oldest festival in the plains region of Colombia, his decision to place these traditions in a fictionalised context, and the pleasure of working with the locals to bring it all to fruition.
