The music video for Matt-Felix’s debut track Leave, Just to Stay is a surrealist short film reminiscent of Luc Besson or a contemporary Buñuel vision. Set in South London’s historic Rivoli Ballroom, Matt-Felix wanders through gilded rooms as strange characters come to life: a spinning ballet dancer, a sinister barman, and masked waltzers.
As the camera zooms in on the Visitor’s Book, we see that the only attendee is Matt-Felix – over and over again. Is it all in his head? Is he trapped in a dream? All the while, the musician’s song Leave, Just to Stay echoes through the film; a beautiful, layered tale of human duality and contrasts.
