You might already know talented Lebanese director Jessy Moussallem from her YDA-winning video for Mashrou' Leila Roman. Here she returns with another hard-hitting promo, this time for French producer/composer Agoria.  

Set in a military outpost, the video was inspired by Moussallem's own experience of the casualties of war – her uncle was killed aged 22 while fighting for a militia during the civil war in Lebanon – and explores the 'militarisation' of human beings. A group of young soldiers pass their days training in a deserted setting, but their combat movements slowly turn into choreographed dance sequences.

The last sequence of the film is deliberately choreographed to reproduce Da Vinci's famous painting, The Last Supper, with the disciples replaced by soldiers; a sobering reminder that this could be their final meal.
