As he’s spent 2013 being praised to the heavens for his godlike genius, and most people think he can probably walk on water (and maybe even rose from the dead…) David Bowie actually plays Christ in Floria Sigismondi’s video for The Next Day. Also starring Bowie’s pal Gary Oldman, as a bad guy priest who [...]
Hot on the heels of her promo for Bowie’s The Stars (Are Out Tonight), Floria Sigismondi serves up another visual treat in her video for Justin Timberlake’s No 1 single Mirrors. Clocking in at over 8 minutes, an old couple look back over their life together remembering the good times in Floria’s poignant narrative. Mr [...]
David and Tilda Swinton are the suburban couple enjoying a wonderful life, until they start getting bothered by the noisy neighbours in Floria Sigismondi’s fab video for David Bowie’s The Stars (Are Out Tonight) – the second single from the long-awaited Bowie album The Next Day (out in March). It’s about as different from the [...]
Floria Sigismondi first worked with Sigur Ros ten years ago – her classic video for Untitled. And now she joins Sigur Ros’ Valtari Mystery Film Experiment for it’s final installment, with her 12 minute short, Leaning Towards Solace – set to the Sigur Ros’ tracks Dauðalogn and Varúð from the Valtari album. It features Elle [...]
Following huge success Stateside, Ellie Goulding teams up with Floria Sigismondi for the promo to Anything Can Happen – the all-important first single from her forthcoming second album Halcyon.

Floria Sigismondi has joined Black Dog Films, the music video division of RSA Films, for music video representation in both the US and UK. The multi-award winning director has been the creative mind behind highly artistic music videos for artists such as The White Stripes, David Bowie, The Cure, Sigur Ros, Marilyn Manson, & Christina [...]
Floria Sigismondi’s previous video for Katy Perry was the SFX-heavy ET, with Kanye West. But now here’s the real deal. The One That Got Away is ambitious, romantic, poignant and properly sad. It’s also fairly courageous for the artist to reimagine herself convincingly as a wealthy octogenarian in her own video. The promo oscillates between [...]
ET, the fourth single from Katy Perry’s globe-straddling Teenage Dream album, boasts an outer space extravaganza from Floria Sigismondi, in a rare return to promo action. Boasting an appearance (and recently added vocals) by Kanye West and with all departments upping their game (notably Kabuki’s make-up), the promo greatly enhances the pounding soundtrack, combining sci-fi, [...]
Floria Sigismundi’s first movie, a biopic of revolutionary all-girl rock band The Runaways – Joan Jett’s first band – is coming soon. Written and directed by Floria – and starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning – The Runaways will premiere at the 2010 Sundance Festival later this month, and is released generally in the US [...]
A rare new outing by Floria Sigismondi in music videos. Essentially it’s a performance vid for her husband Lillian Berlin’s band Living Things, but there’s still a bit of the ol’ Floria dark magic in there too, featuring an Oriental lady and her umbrella. And just having her back makes you think about what she [...]
