David Heofs follows Haich Ber Na through Madrid as he encounters a cast of real-life characters with extraordinary talents, hidden obsessions and unusual stories.Shot during the Brirish musician's stay in Madrid as part of the tour for his EP Music for Making Friends, Heofs's video for Seeing Signs is a documentary portrait of the city through the people who quietly make it extraordinary. It's also a stylistic departure for the director who has directed acclaimed videos for Omar Apollo, Deftones and Dellafuente.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;Rather than constructing a fictional narrative, the music video follows real people whose exceptional passions and skills exist naturally within everyday life. Guinness World Record holders, yo-yo players, pizza-spinning masters, Paraguayan folk dancers, urban cyclists and other remarkable individuals become part of a series of observational encounters that blur the boundaries between documentary filmmaking and the language of contemporary music videos.In this new work, David Heofs continues to explore his interest in portraying real people and cultural phenomena through the language of contemporary music video. Produced by Bandiz, the video was shot over eight days using a collection of vintage broadcast and consumer cameras, embracing the visual language of analogue and early digital video.

Haich Ber Na - Seeing Signs

Madrid-based photographer and director Gerseys directs a cinematic promo for Latin pop artists Chanela Clicka, Lia Kali, Israel Fernández and&nbsp;Adriel Favela.Mi Superona is a&nbsp;cross-cultural anthem exploring loyalty, pride and the contradictions of love - shot&nbsp;between Hermosillo, Mexico and Las 3000 Viviendas in Seville, Spain. The video moves through cantinas and open streets where celebration and heartbreak coexist -&nbsp;a tribute to those who left, those who stayed, and those suspended somewhere in between.Boasting plenty of natural light and handheld immediacy, the visual unfolds with a documentary-informed aesthetic, emphasising presence and gesture over spectacle.&nbsp;A true masterclass in blending different visual structures within a&nbsp;music video format, it's a beautiful clash of reality and fantasy, performance and narrative.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

David Heofs's&nbsp;outstanding video for legendary alt-metal outfit Deftones reaffirms the power of the medium as a means of untrammelled artistic expression.The video for Milk Of The Madonna is, essentially a&nbsp;piece about surrender and rebirth - 'a sensory trip from chaos to clarity and the mental landscapes in between', according to the director and production company <a href="https://www.bandizstudio.com/" target="_blank">Bandiz</a>. It's also&nbsp;surprising and uncompromising: a rapid, almost&nbsp;random succession of images, using a range of formats and techniques. The exact opposite of 'dreamlike', it nevertheless&nbsp;gives the effect of a restless, agitated&nbsp;dream.&nbsp;&nbsp;The central character is a young woman, who ultimately will find her way to a giant man-made wonder of engineering - a hydro-electic dam. It's a journey in which she loses herself but finally re-emerges and achieves&nbsp;a resolution.&nbsp;&nbsp;Heofs&nbsp;has evidently been given free rein by the band - and Warner's&nbsp;just-as-legendary commissioner Devin Sarno - to experiment, stretching the idea of narrative to allow the viewer find their own story, while being drawn into the almost hypnotic fusion of music and visuals.&nbsp;With that freedom,&nbsp;Heofs has created something almost radical by the conventions of mid-2020s music video-making - and confirmed that he is one of the most exciting talents working in the medium right now.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;[imgtoken data:3]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

David Heofs has directed&nbsp;a collection of 13 videos for Spanish rapper Dano’s new album, Nuevos Trapos, and the video for Dupont Dreams&nbsp;serves as the cornerstone of the whole visual album, bringing together fragments from each of the situations explored in the other 12 pieces - which were all filmed entirely in a single take.Set in a purely nocturnal atmosphere, the project celebrates the city of Madrid and the historic places that have been significant both for the local hip-hop scene and for the artist himself.Evocative and atmospheric, the video feels like a series of moving portraits, lingering moments of time captured in a surreal way. Strongly focussed on a rapper at the top of his game&nbsp;it's intriguing and uplifting. Another notable achievement by this talented director.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Ismael De La Trinidad directs an arresting narrative symbolising Spanish singer Lia Kali's personal struggles against harmful forces.&nbsp;The video for Renacer transforms an empty airport terminal into an eerie stage, a metaphor for the fear and phobia that haunt the artist. In this space, that Lia confronts her own 'demoness' - a blue skinned, yellow-eyed sprite -&nbsp;in a visceral duel&nbsp;embodying the chaos of intrusive thoughts in her head.[imgtoken data:1]The video immerses the viewer in an internal battle where every small victory matters: overcoming fears, pushing past exhaustion, and making peace with oneself. Blending realism with dreamlike elements, De La Trinidad is consistently inventive&nbsp;in exploring the contradictions swirling around the human mind.Both the spectacular SFX makeup work of the malevolent&nbsp;demoness&nbsp;and richly atmospheric&nbsp;cinematography by DoP Álvar Riu elevate the concept, whilst&nbsp;Lia's performance anchors the otherworldly into reality. It all adds up to a memorable visual for the artist.

Omar Apollo delivers a warm performance&nbsp;of his new album God Said No, directed by David Heofs.The live performance takes place on a massive white couch, where the artist is surrounded by various musicians, alongside some of his closest friends and collaborators.&nbsp;It's a striking visual, with people spread out across the space, layers of white on white. It's almost dreamlike in its presentation, a relaxed kind of chaos, which makes for a completely engaging visual.&nbsp;Apollo is charismatic as ever, and his faultless performance is the star of the show. And it's a delightful follow-up to the Heofs-directed&nbsp;video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2024/08/06/omar-apollo-spite-david-heofs/87612" target="_blank">Spite</a>.[imgtoken data:1]

David Heofs directs an alluring black and white promo for Spanish rapper and singer-songwriter&nbsp;Dellafuente featuring singer Amore, set in Granada, Andalucia&nbsp;and the magnificent&nbsp;Alhambra.&nbsp;The palatial setting and striking landscapes are the perfect location for the ambitious visual for Malicia, which follows a variety of characters portrayed in their daily lives - including&nbsp;fighters training in the mountains around the city.Between the slick performance vignettes and cinematic elements of the fighters,&nbsp;snapshots of documentary-style portraits help give context to the surroundings, capturing&nbsp;emblematic scenes of Holy Week in Granada.&nbsp;It is a&nbsp;blend of fiction and reality really helps to elevate&nbsp;the video.The video is the latest collaboration between Dellafuente and David Heofs, who also directed the artist's&nbsp;visual album Milagro, the Taifa Yallah project, and the music video for Ya No Te Veo, together with the graphic design of album covers that he has created for the artist at Bandiz Studio.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

David Heofs directs a gorgeous promo for Omar Apollo, a visual tribute to the artist's Mexican&nbsp;origins.&nbsp;Inspired by contemporary art, fashion and culture, in Heofs' video for Spite we witness the discovery of freedom through dance and movement. The performance sections are intercut with dazzling conceptual vignettes, including a scene of motorcycle acrobatics performed by real policeman - a nod to Pedro Infante and his 1952 film A Toda Máquina.&nbsp;Tied together by some standout choreography, it's a gorgeous visual which imbues the lyrical frustration of long distance relationships into something elevated and cinematic.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]&nbsp;
