Poet, musician and film director Juliankxx returns to his childhood home for a blue tinted exploration of Freetown.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In Praise of Still Boys<\/em> the film, released in February 2021, is a re-examination of Juliankxx\u2019s childhood, growing up on the Atlantic Coast of Sierra Leone before leaving the country at 9 years old during the country\u2019s civil war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The images are contemplative and stark, capturing the vitality and rhythm of the young boy\u2019s life along the water. Juliankxx describes it “as sort of self-reflection, within this sort of landscape of ‘blue’ within the landscape of the Atlantic Ocean that connects Sierra Leone to England and America – like we all share the same Atlantic Ocean – it just made sense<\/em>“<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The soundtrack, now available on vinyl, includes original compositions as well as collaborations from artists Melo-Zed, Aron Kyne, Thabo and anaiis. The limited press of 500 records are printed in a deep blue that reflects the hue of the oceanic film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
