PLAYGROUNDS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2026

A saucy music video for American singer songwriter and rapper Janelle Monáe.

CREDITS

Director: Emma Westenberg
Music: Janelle Monáe

The music video PYNK will be featured in the Saucy Selection.

Changing our gaze. Juicy content, quirky stories, visual pleasures but, most of all stories told from a fresh perspective.
