Looks like Beck loves Riku + Mame just as much as we do! Directed by Brook Linder (previously featured here), “Fix Me” introduces the adorable toddler and her poodle pals from Yamagata, Japan to a wider audience while helping to raise funds for the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).

A beautiful video for Dj Pone’s track with Jaw by director Gabriel Dugué from Montpellier, France.
A lovely portrait of New York City-based dancer Anna Pinault by director Max Haben from Washington, DC. Resisting the idea of making “just another dance video,” Haben focuses on capturing Pinault’s deep awareness and understanding of her body. Music by Benjamin Gustaffson.

Video for Full Crate and The Partysquad, featuring twin singer-songwriters Nick & Navi. Directed and edited by Full Crate, “Hot” was shot on the Caribbean island of Curacao.
Really like the style of this animation by French illustrator and animator Louis Grosperrin for London-based blues band Mama Moonshine. Inspired by Henri Rousseau’s fantastical scenes of nature, “Mr Shy” sees Grosperrin creating his own little version of Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Love this short piece on French illustrator Thomas Danthony from London-based Handsome Frank. Known for his beautifully crafted digital images, Danthony has recently relocated to Barcelona, which is where the Handsome Frank crew caught up with him for their ongoing A Little Film About series.

A wonderfully odd video for the latest track from synth-pop duo LATER aka London producer Drive Me Home and Norwegian singer Linn Carin Dindal. “If This Is The Other Side” follows a glittery-faced hotel maid going about her regular routine of cleaning rooms, wandering the streets and ignoring calls from Kanye West.
A funny-yet-tender little piece by Japanese animator and illustrator Sawako Kabuki. Such a great sense of movement and playfulness!

A jarring mosaic of dystopian visuals by British director Jay Green. Created to accompany London-based musician Miles from Kinshasa’s vibrant mix of 80s synth pop and Congolese rumba, Green delves into the fragmented and uncertain world of collected dreams, fantasies and memories.
