In Will Liney's imaginative dance film, a teacher finds an exape from a building panic attack through the act of air drumming, with a remarkable effect upon her surroundings.As the teacher becomes more expressive, she discovers she can create a whirlwind in the classroom, as the papers erupt around her. The effect of increasing chaos, and her control within the storm, is enhanced by the impressive sound design and the percussion-heavy track by Jack Chown and Rudi Falla, both beautifully aligned to the visuals.An intriguing and well crafted film, with a strong central performance by Lesly Avedaño Sanchez as the teacher. And its shows there are surprising ways to achieve a state of zen.

James Ogram directs a countryside meditation on life and death, in his absorbing promo for Poor Things composer Jerskin Fendrix.The video for Together Again finds Fendrix on a walk with his dog, as he comes across a mutilated badger. Moments later, he runs over to a bloody car crash, where an elderly man has hit a signpost in the middle of the landscape. It's completely out of place, but played straight, adding a sense of mystery to the video. This sense of surreal liminality bleeds through the rest of the visual, as Ogram captures the frantic aftermath in lingering wide shots, sun-soaked hills contrasted by visceral tragedy. It also follows the similarly eery and surreal presentation of life in the English countryside in the video for Beth's Farm - directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Emma Stone - and both videos were shot by another Lanthimos collaborator, DoP Robbie Ryan.It also marks a creative reunion between Jerskin Fendrix and James Ogram, who became collaborators and friends while playing together in a band called Famous, nearly a decade ago. "Back then, I was a musician, interested in film," recalls Ogram. "I was just getting into directing alongside music and one of the first music videos I ever made was for Jerskin, with a mirrorless camera and a few work lights we bought from B&Q. It wasn’t long before things switched around and I became a filmmaker, interested in music."It was probably about two years ago when Jerskin first showed me Together Again. Its scope, beauty and emotional force was striking. It’s also very long. There was no way that I could try to contend with the many images the song conjures in one’s mind."I felt that the song needed space and I wanted to make a film that told a story without choking the song. I wanted to tell a story in as few shots as I could. The song [also] made me sad, I wanted to make a music video that was sad too."Robbie shot the film on 35mm celluloid. He was wonderful to work with. Obviously, he’s an amazing talent. His passion for making films, from very big ones with Yorgos, to very small ones (like this one) is inspiring."

Norwegian singer songwriter Anna of The North returns with catchy new single Give Me Back Your Love.Directed by Douglas Reddan, the promo expands upon the track's themes of finding true love, as Anna traverses London with a giant teddy bear, and a sign to catch the eye of potential suitors - intercut with fun choreography and tender performance vignettes. A video with plenty of heart, and a feelgood message, and further evidence of Douglas Reddan as an emerging video directing talent.

Fiona Jane Burgess directs the latest video for The Last Dinner Party in a real departure from their canon up to this point: a poignant, character-driven short film with no appearance by the band.The promo for The Scythe follows an elderly couple (played by Richard Durden and Eileen Nicholas) on a quiet journey through the English countryside, focussing on a series of scenes on the journey. Without a backstory or dramatic arc, it invites the viewer to fill in the narrative details themselves - and find beauty in the ordinary and unspoken.“The Scythe is a song about love, and so this film is a testament to that," explains Fiona Jane Burgess. "The band came to me with an idea about seeing an older couple on a journey, and I thought that was refreshing since we live in such a youth-obsessed culture."I also love road movies, so it was fun to have the opportunity to make one! The actors were fantastic and brought so much energy to the screen despite two very long and demanding shoot days."The shoot itself was an adventure, driving from place to place discovering hidden gems with a brilliant crew and meeting locals along the way (some of whom are in the film!) I worked with cinematographer Mika Altskan and we shot on 35mm 4-perf which was a dream."So many people helped bring this film to life and I'm so grateful to The Last Dinner Party and their team for being such amazing collaborators.”
