Adam Hashemi's video for Danish electronic artist and producer Trentemøller's ...Even Though You're With Another Girl exists entirely within its own deliriously strange universe. Its a mid-20th century-set psycho-surreal drama-cum-musical production number that evokes Dennis Potter's <em>Pennies From Heaven</em> - but with an extra level Scandinavian inscrutability and angst. You may not understand it, but it creates a lingering effect - rather like Adam's superbly strange, sexually-charged video for Oh No Ono's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watchv=ukxu8FgrW10" target="_blank">Swim</a>, shown at BUG last year... Bold and imaginative stuff - beautifully shot by the impeccable Lasse Frank - last year's winner of the MVA for best cinematography.
