Experiencing Interruptions?

Come to Me

Come to Me (Príď za mnou) is a music video for the Slovak band Longital, told as a visual allegory. AI-generated imagery depicts a world where animal-like beings experience the clash of two realities – the grey city and the free wilderness. The surreal visual language reflects today’s oversaturation with experiences and possessions, while also pointing to a longing for harmony and a return to nature.

In the contrast between monotonous urban rush and the playful dance of the forest, a dreamlike metaphor of exhaustion and hope emerges. Folkloric symbolism and a poetic atmosphere lift the story into a timeless realm, leaving the viewer to decide whether the escape from chaos is true liberation – or merely another illusion.

Director Biography - Jiří Philippe Janda

Jiří Philippe Janda is a Czech director, architect and researcher. His practice intertwines generative AI, video art, and experimental storytelling, often through fictional worldbuilding that blurs the boundaries between documentary, fiction, and the surreal. Janda’s recent works have been presented at international festivals and exhibitions, where they explore themes of identity, memory, hyperreality, and the shifting role of the author in the age of algorithms. Moving between irony and intimacy, his projects reflect on the absurdities of contemporary life and the deep entanglement of technology with human experience.

Director Statement

"Come to Me" is not just a music video for me, but a visual metaphor for an experience I see all around us – the feeling of being overwhelmed by a world full of images, information, and expectations. The song by Longital carries a certain duality: its music is gentle and uplifting, yet the lyrics speak about fatigue, saturation, and the longing to pause.

I chose to tell the story through a world of animal-like beings. For me, they symbolize a return to nature, to the rhythm of the forest and folklore, while also appearing surreal – not realistic animals, but toys or dreamlike figures. The contrast between the gray city and the playful world of the forest mirrors a tension we all know: the desire for calm and the constant pull back into the rush.

The final image, revealing that the creatures are just toys in the hands of children, is not meant to negate the story but to reinforce it. Imagination, for me, is the true way out – a means to transform chaos into poetry and to rediscover joy within it.
