PJ Harvey and actress Ruth Wilson have collaborated on a new video for Harvey's latest single, “Seem an I”, created by Oscar-nominated Irish writer-director Colm Bairéad. The video was filmed at Kennel Farm outside Salisbury, Wiltshire.
On working with Ruth Wilson and Colm Bairéad, PJ Harvey says:
“Ruth and I became friends after working together on Clio Barnard's 'Dark River'. I have always greatly admired Ruth's work as an actress, so for a long time I had harbored a dream that we could work together again in some capacity. When the opportunity arose to work with Colm Bairéad, I knew he was a director. Ruth thought highly of him, as did I, so it seemed right to ask her if she would star in the film. I find the resulting short film beautiful and moving for having Ruth's magical presence and Colm's unique vision.”
Ruth Wilson adds: “I have always been a big fan of PJ, so it was a great privilege to work alongside Colm and Polly to bring “Seem an I” to visual life in this mysterious and hypnotic short film. There is no better way to spend a day in the magical world of PJ Harvey.”
