Alex Gargot

Alex Gargot directs a surreal&nbsp;journey through mind, body and soul, in his promo for Spanish flamenco-electronica duo&nbsp;Fuel Fandango.The Barcelona-based director, who won a Best Newcomer award at the&nbsp;UKMVAs in 2019 for his extraordinary video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2019/11/06/cora-novoa-state-mind-alex-gargot/61743" target="_blank">Cora Novoa's State Of Mind</a>, brings his eye for majestical visual effects to bear on this movie-scale video for Mi Huella, where&nbsp;the inhabitants of a tower block are jolted from their domestic activity when their building disconnects&nbsp;from its foundations, and launches rocket-like into Earth's upper atmosphere.With a mesmerising mix of understated VFX and portrait-style vignettes, the video is light on backstory or character development, instead placing the focus on the unfolding phenomenon which&nbsp;allows the residents to experience&nbsp;a zero gravity atmosphere, before the building settles back down to Earth. Epic stuff![imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Fuel Fandango ft MJ Llergo 'Mi Huella' by Alex Gargot

Fuel Fandango feat. MJ Llergo "Mi Huella"

Belatedly arriving on Promonews after its win in the Best Dance Video Newcomer award at last month's UKMVAs, comes Spanish director Alex Gargot's highly imaginative gothic horror for Cora Novoa.Gargot's impressively-mounted video explores life and death in a surreal and nightmarish vision, as a&nbsp;grief-stricken mother&nbsp;battles&nbsp; overwhelming sadness after the loss of her son - and&nbsp;then the terrifying possibility of his continued presence after death.&nbsp;Rather than following a&nbsp;traditional narrative structure, the scenes are sporadic, exploring different moments in the Mother's tragic breakdown, and jumping backwards and forwards to get a sense of perspective, and to piece the puzzle together.&nbsp;The use of&nbsp;pulsating lighting to generate tension and atmosphere, is also highly effective, and&nbsp;Thais Català's composition and camerawork creates an unsettling yet contemporary world for this story to inhabit. It's creepy but great fun at the same time. Here's a director who is definitely one to watch out for.
