So much to love about this video for Janelle Monáe’s track “Make Me Feel” by director Alan Ferguson (previously featured here). Check out her other new video for “Django Jane” here, if you haven’t already!
A self-initiated CG short by London-based designer Dan Hoopert. Inspired by Palissade furniture collection by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, sunlight casts shadowy extensions of each design, creating new distorted shapes and bringing each piece to life. Music and sound design by Hector Ruiz.
Video for Janelle Monáe’s track “Django Jane” co-directed by Andrew Donoho and Chuck Lightning.
A strange and stylish video for Faded Away’s track with MNYNMS. Directed by French filmmaker Clément Oberto, “Nite Bites” features actress Roxane Mesquida and Los Angeles-based producer Mr Flash.
London-based director Rob Brown captures the fiery annual tradition of Ottery St Mary in Devon, England for Turin Brakes’ track “The Quiet Ones.” Really nice work by cinematographer Jamie Harding.
A dreamy hand-drawn animation by Thijs Kuijken (aka I Am Oak) for his track “Will I Wake.” Offering an audio-visual exploration of the fluid-like nature of memories, the video is made up of roughly 2000 drawings, which took Thijs about 107 hours to do all by himself.
Toronto-based director Justin Pelletier and Vancouver-based producer Adam Maruniak search for Dag Aabye, a 76 year-old living legend who spends his days training for Ultra-Marathons in the wilds of B.C. and reflecting on the kind of person he still has yet to become.
A powerful video for The Prussians’ track “Soul” by filmmaker Jiajie Yu Yan (previously featured here).

Berlin-based filmmaker Anthony Molina offers an unexpected glimpse into the world of lucha libre in El Alto, Bolivia for Milky Chance’s track “Firebird.”
A disturbing look at the tracking system used at the ATF’s National Tracing Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia, which handles roughly 8,000 active traces per day. Directed by David Freid and produced by Mor Albalak (of Los Angeles-based MEL Films), “Guns Found Here” has a lot in common with Steven Brahms’ documentary short, “The Tracers,” posted here back in 2016. Especially in light of recent events, you gotta wonder how much more time (and tragedy) it’ll take before things start to change.
An experimental short from Brooklyn-based filmmaker and photographer Jackson Tisi. Set to Donavon’s track “Fading,” the concept for the film and song were actually conceived together before work began on either. See full credits for the collaborative project below.
