The 2019 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video was awarded to Kevan Funk, for his clip for Belle Game’s Low. We will continue to profile prominent Canadian videos, including this one from a Juno-nominated composer, producer and singer based in Toronto.


Lydia Ainsworth - Can You Find Her Place

The beautiful visual for Lydia Ainsworth’s Can You Find Her Place is heavily inspired by Boticelli’s painting Primavera, a mythological allegory of the fertility of the earth. Throughout the video, characters resembling the Greek gods of the painting dancing as they surround the singer. The video is light and colourful, which perfectly accompany Ainsworth’s vocals.

The song touches on the idea of all of the places you can find strength in the face of humanity's hubris and sings from a unique POV,  "In my song Can You Find Her Place I am singing from the perspective of a Greek choir, setting the stage for Mother Nature’s reveal.”
