The music video for “SWIM” by the group BTS (BTS, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook) has been nominated in the “Best Music Video” category at ToruńCAMERIMAGE, a film festival of global prestige.
According to the list of nominees for the 2026 music video competition announced by ToruńCAMERIMAGE on the 19th (all times local), “SWIM,” the title track from BTS’s fifth studio album “ARIRANG,” was nominated for “Best Music Video.”
“SWIM” made the final list of 18 nominees out of 300 entries submitted worldwide, competing against works such as Harry Styles’ “American Girls,” Ariana Grande’s “hate that i made you love me,” and Madonna’s “CONFESSIONS II.”
Founded in 1993, ToruńCAMERIMAGE is the world’s most prestigious film festival specializing in visual aesthetics and cinematography. It is regarded as the “Oscars of Cinematography” in the film and video industry. The “SWIM” music video has been recognized for both its artistic merit and popular appeal through its beautiful visuals and refined direction. Released last March, the song and music video surpassed 100 million views on YouTube on April 15, less than a month after their release, gaining worldwide popularity.
The video boasts an overwhelming scale set against the vast sea of Lisbon, Portugal. It blends the delicate emotional acting of Hollywood actress Lili Reinhart with the sensuous direction of world-renowned director Tanu Muino. The seven members appear as steadfast supporters of a character striving to move forward despite life’s setbacks. They unfold the song’s message of love for life and moving forward like a feature film.
The 34th Camerimage Film Festival will be held in Toruń, Poland, from November 7 to 14. The nominees in the Best Music Video category will receive special screenings at the CKK Jordanki main screening hall during the festival period. The award results will be announced at the closing ceremony on the final day of the event.
