Kisses Over Babylon is the second installment of SALVO!, a 12-part music video series from Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros. Kisses picks up in the same desert wasteland world, ravaged by drought. Edward is arrested by two Minors (police from Ursa Minor) for the murder of his own father, and taken to a water-labor prison. There he reunites with Brother, his long-ago friend, and rallies the prisoners to a frenzied prison break.

Every April 7th, Zvornik neighbouhrs bury those identified during the year. 1.555 Bosnian Muslins were killed in that municipally between April and June 1992, and 45.000 were driven out. 3 years later, a genocide took place in Srebrenica. Republika Prpska was chraged guilty for that crime that has overshadowed all the rest. That entity administrates today both Srebrenika and Zvornik. In this context, the return of the Bosnian Muslims is slow and difficult, truth and historic memory are blurring, those responsible are not facing justice, and peace is trembling.

This is an experimental film made up of over 35,000 photographs. It combines an innovative mix of stop motion and live projection mapping techniques.
