Poems from Ramayana

ESP 2016 5’

PERFORMED BY: Emelvi
DIRECTED BY: Nacho A. Villar
PRODUCED BY: BRBR films

“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” The authors seem to agree fully with this quote from Shakespeare, creating a visual poem filled with uncommon locations, untypical costumes and unnerving actions.

In Love With The Dead Man

POL 2018 3'

PERFORMED BY: Bokka
DIRECTED BY: Turbodizel
PRODUCED BY: Kolektyw Turbodizel

Turbodizel crafts a narrative straight from a 2D game, irreverently alluding to the clip’s title. Pixel art and animations evoking sidescroller mechanics make it seem like you’re watching gameplay, not a music video.

Black Bird

USA 2017 4’

PERFORMED BY: Eddie Beatz
DIRECTED BY: Haonan Wang

A deft collage of animation and film shots, in which you observe the world from the POV of birds. As evidenced by the clip to Eddie Beatz’ song, birds sometimes allow us a temporary escape from the concrete jungle into a world of nostalgic imagination.

Maciej Gryzełko

Haonan Wang

A director and cinematographer working in LA and Beijing.

Real Love

ISR 2018 4’

PERFORMED BY: Inga-Dingo
DIRECTED BY: Eyal Be

A funny, if a bit unnerving story of a girl trapped in a film by her filmmaker ex-boyfriend. The grinding of memories, zoom-ins on the woman’s face and constant repeats of sequences paint a paranoidal picture of a jealous mind.

Katarzyna Warmuz

Eyal Be

PRODUCED BY: Tomasz Morawski HAKA FILMS

A fable-like love story of two giants, where the titular care provokes the collision of two alien worlds. In the background, the winter scenery of Polish province and beautiful shots of nature by Kacper Fertacz.

Kind

SWE 2018 3’

PERFORMED BY: Valdemar
DIRECTED BY: BABYBABY

Due to Strindberg’s visual FXs, human flesh becomes just a material to crush and cut. Eroticism, neurosis, control - Valdemar and BABYBABY created a hypnotic vision of a truly disciplined society.

Kolaps

POL 2018 6'

PERFORMED BY: Chino
DIRECTED BY: Piotr Ceglarek

Monochromatic pointillism of a trance-like, pulsating nature created in Processing. Piotr Ceglarek generates digital afterimages, in which the fluid transformation of binary forms hypnotizes and surprises with contrasting shapes.

Katy’s Wart

USA 2017 3

PERFORMED BY: David Roush
DIRECTED BY: Simón Wilches, Hollye Bynum
PRODUCED BY: David Roush, Ben Kalina

A pervert harasses twins. He doesn’t know that one of them has a magical wart, which will send unimaginable tortures onto him. A brutal and literal animation set to heavy metal. A surrealist cocktail of blood and freaks.

Instagram Witches & Brand New Grimoires

ESP 2017 3’

PERFORMED BY: Lucas Vidaur
DIRECTED BY: Cristina García Zarzosa

An intimate, indie lo-fi video about the passing secrets of moments. Cristina García Zarzosa serves us an impression woven out of ephemeral imagery. Don’t be fooled though, because these subtle circumstances hide an allegory of a toxic relationship.

Maciej Gryzełko

Cristina García Zarzosa

A Spain-based director of short films and music videos.

POL 2017 4’

PERFORMED BY: Maciej Obara, Dominik Wania, Michał Miśkiewicz, Maksymilian Much
DIRECTED BY: Marcin Nawrotek

3D elements blend into each other, break off, assume the weirdest shapes, mimicking the musicians and the music itself. An attempt to reflect reality in the most accurate way, registered with the help of… Kinect.

SVN 2018 5’

PERFORMED BY: RANE
DIRECTED BY: Aron Horvath
OTHERS: Saso Stih, Barbara Daljavec

Aron Horvath masterfully doses tension in his story, spicing up the hooligan narration with a note of queer and neighborhood fantasies. If you’re a Vice reader, you already know this clip or you’re about to love it.

ESP 2017 3’

PERFORMED BY: IBON ERRAZKIN
DIRECTED BY: Gabe Ibáñez
PRODUCED BY: Rivenz Lab
OTHERS: Luis Guijarro, Adriana Solé

The author decided on cold minimalism close to the aesthetics of Aki Kaurismäki’s films. The video is a chain of repetitions, corrections, feverish fittings. Only music and the slowly rolling oranges offer calm before the mounting pressure.

Katarzyna Warmuz

In 2008, he directed his first feature film “Hierro”. He worked with Antonio Banderas on the film “Automata”.

Gul l’Abi

TUR 2018 3’

PERFORMED BY: Neuland / Acid Arab feat. A-WA
DIRECTED BY: Behsat Veyseloğlu
PRODUCED BY: Birkan Yorulmaz, Ateş Benek

Masked and in burqas, vaping in a neon car en route to a night club, the heroines of Behsat Veyseloğlu’s music video are independent women throwing a wrench into the Middle Eastern order, as they shamelessly flirt and get the men awaiting them.

New York

USA 2017 3’

PERFORMED BY: St. Vincent
DIRECTED BY: Alex Da Corte
PRODUCED BY: All Ages Productions

St. Vincent must have fought a vicious battle with her label. Because when you release the main single - especially one with such potential to be a radio turbohit - you’d normally want a music video fitting both for the gym and the morning show. Not some wild and daring orgy of colors and scenography.

PERFORMED BY: Hurray For The Riff Raff
DIRECTED BY: Kristian Mercado Figueroa aka Kris Merc
PRODUCED BY: BabyPanther
OTHERS: Rudolf Costin, Michael Reuter

A story about love of family and homeland, but one which dodges banalities. Kris Marc’s video is also a nuanced and delicate monument to the marginalized Puerto Rican community in the US.
