Live at the Mildmay Club

Project

Mercury Prize-winning Michael Kiwanuka plays an intimate and transcendent set in director Huse Monfaradi's long-form video, Live At The Mildmay Club.

The magical performance is colourful, bold and engaging, with a real feeling of community and shared experience. It captures the energy and spirit of Kiwanuka's music, as well as the captivating effect it has on the audience and musicians who work with him.

Huse explains “It was such a pleasure working with Micheal. After a couple of chats, I suggested filming in an intimate setting with a small audience. It felt like an obvious idea but at the same time, nothing either of us had really seen of late. Semera Khan was amazing and just let us roll with it. We filmed four cameras all handheld. Ben Magahy lit it beautifully, predominantly using old par can lighting with heavily filtered lenses.”
