    Some nice dudes from the streetwear collective Impala, helped us spead the message that BANANAS!* was opening on cinemas in Sweden in October 2009. This is the result on video, in a faster, more effective motion. Although it was good in real-time too. Enjoy!

    Artist: Dan Bengtsson
    Camera: Anja Holmström
    Editor: Emma Svensson
