BTS's 'SWIM' MV makes Camerimage shortlist, competing against Madonna, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles
BTS's 'SWIM' music video is one of 18 finalists from 300 global submissions at the 34th Camerimage Film Festival in Toruń, Poland.
BTS lands in a very competitive room
BTS's SWIM music video—the title track from their fifth studio album ARIRANG—made the cut as one of 18 finalists in the music video competition at Camerimage International Film Festival. Three hundred submissions came in from around the world.
The 34th edition runs November 7–14 in Toruń, Poland. All 18 finalist works will screen at the CKK Jordanki main theater.
The competition
SWIM shares the category with Harry Styles' "American Girls," Ariana Grande's "hate that i made you love me," and Madonna's "CONFESSIONS II."
The award draws heavy hitters. Clipse and Kendrick Lamar's "Chains & Whips" won the Golden Frog Award the previous year. Taylor Swift's "Fortnight" (featuring Post Malone) took it in 2024. The category has quietly become one of the more competitive MV awards on the international circuit.
Winners get announced November 14.
