In a thrilling achievement for South African artistry, the music video for “Soen My Sag” has won the award for Best Music Video at the Toronto International Women’s Film Festival.
In recent years, the Toronto Women’s Film Festival has become a vital platform for showcasing and celebrating female talent globally.
The video, shot spontaneously on a sunny afternoon in Nature’s Valley, captures the essence of love through the lens of two sisters who have both found their soulmates, beautifully illustrating how love can provide calm and strength amidst an ever-changing world.
Actress and vocalist Liesl Ahlers, known for her role in Friend Request, brings the song to life alongside composer Katrine Labuschagne.
The track serves as the theme for the upcoming film BOS, which stars Ruan Wessels (Wyfie) and Simone Neethling (Spinners).
BOS explores the profound love that blossoms between two individuals in a post-apocalyptic world, showcasing their fight for a new beginning despite dire circumstances.
The music video invites audiences to immerse themselves in the stunning natural landscapes of the Garden Route, offering a dreamlike portrayal of true connection. Just as nature flourishes against all odds, so too can young love thrive in challenging conditions.
In a weekend of further celebration, BOS clinched multiple awards at the Red Brick Film Festival, including Best Feature Film, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Director.
