Turkish-born artist&nbsp;Emir&nbsp;Taha&nbsp;challenges expectations of masculinity in this delicately detailed video, directed by Josh Thornton-Allan.&nbsp;Shot on 16mm, the video opens with glimpses of sequins, elegant hand movements and Emir&nbsp;playing the guitar and singing into a darkened space as a lone dancer moves in its centre. The visual combination of 16mm film and dynamic lighting&nbsp;highlights the masculine form in an intimate and visceral way whilst simultaneously casting a dream-like gossamer over the scene.&nbsp;“Emir&nbsp;came to me with the idea of a male belly dancer and it immediately captured my imagination," says Thornton-Allan.&nbsp;"Exploring the subversion of societal norms through art is always an exciting prospect. I wanted to portray the dance in a way that both highlighted the dancers masculinity but also showed dance as the genderless act it can often be."&nbsp;Thornton-Allan adds that it felt perfect to shoot the video on 16mm. “Film has a texture and feel that is both physical and immediate whilst also feeling sensual and ethereal," he says.&nbsp;"It meant that everything could grow out of Gabh’s performance - rather than coming to it with a meticulous shot list it gave us the freedom to just explore the raw physicality of the dance.”The dancer in question&nbsp;Gabh Diniz, is revealed by bright light as we hit the chorus. The performance is just that, a revelation, the spectrum of gender fluidity and masculinity being explored in Diniz’s fluid and sensual movements.&nbsp;Emir&nbsp; performs understatedly in the background, a watchful narrator.&nbsp;The video is at once delicate, hypnotic, hazy and powerful in its dignified, meaningful artistry.&nbsp;

The latest Kara Marni video by Rebekah Bird (aka&nbsp;Rebekah Creative) is another slick performance video, this time counterpointing Kara and co-performer Toni Romiti's heartfelt performances of the ballad Over You with a high fashion aesthetic, in a sleek&nbsp;industrial-type setting."The track has a sense of emotion and vulnerability that I really wanted to reflect in the subdued colour palette," says Rebekah, who worked with DoP Carmen Pellon on the look of the video - which was also one of the last videos executive produced by the late Luke Biggins.[imgtoken data:1]"Whenever Kara sends me a brief I instantly look at any concept development through a fashion, editorial lens. Props and accolades to the talented stylist: Anastasia Magoutas who pulled In these amazing looks even in the height of fashion week!"This production was overseen by the much-loved Luke Biggins who is sadly no longer with us. This video along with hundreds like it wouldn’t have been the same without Luke’s expertise and calm creative nature on set. He will be forever missed."

Eloise tries to move on from her past in the dreamy promo for Hungover, directed by Nicolee Tsin.&nbsp;Letting loose in a sun-drenched apartment building, we see the artist and two dancers move swiftly through several laidback vignettes, taking time for some R&amp;R after the breakup of a relationship.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Carmen Pellon matches the relaxed energy with gentle camera movement and bright, organic lighting, creating a dreamlike aesthetic where worries can melt away."Hungover is about reminiscing and forgetting an ex-lover," explains Tsin.&nbsp;"I wanted to capture moments where we indulge in quintessential pleasures - we dance freely in front of the mirror, we dress up, we daydream and wonder if we could be a kid again..."They gently reminds us to feel comfortable in our own skin and have a little more fun, just as the way Eloise makes us feel in her music."

Fizzy Blood&#39;s lead guitarist suffers from ADHD and Filthy Animal&#39;s video aims to succeed where everyone else has failed, and show exactly what that feels like.So it starts with a single screen featuring the band&#39;s performance, that splits into nine, and then delivers different &#39;TV channels&#39;, being experienced all at once. Sometimes one of the channels looms large and takes over a number of screens for a while, and then fades back, to be&nbsp;replaced by another.As a visual device this works for Fizzy Blood&#39;s raucous song - and it really does give you an idea what it&#39;s like to have&nbsp;ADHD...&nbsp;
