A bittersweet and heartfelt portrait of a young woman and her diabetic father, Alexander Farah's film for Canadian singer-songwriter Desirée Dawson's Meet You At The Light, released six months ago, has now won two big awards in the past two weeks - International Grand Prix at The Sharks' Music Video Awards, and winner of both the Jury Award and the Audience Award in the Music Videos section&nbsp;at SXSW Film Festival&nbsp;2022.With the lead roles played&nbsp;by Ishaval Gill and her father Kamaldevinder Gill, and with Harinder Saini, Balinder Johal and Shrey Vyas as family members, Farah begins at the end of the story, in the painful scene of the father's funeral, before going back to happier times and then following the story of his declining health through several powerful scenes.Experienced DoP Farhad Ghaderi worked alongside Alexander Farah on his first music video - who chose to cast a non-actor in Kamaldevinder Gill in the crucial role of the father - a gamble that has paid off very effectively.&nbsp;The jury of the Music Videos category at the SXSW Film Festival this year has been effusive in their praise for their winner. “Without a single detail wasted, we were all moved to tears by this powerful story from a first-time music video director. Featuring equally beautiful performances, editing, and cinematography, we present the Best Music Video award to&nbsp;Desirée Dawson - Meet Me at the Light&nbsp;by Alexander Farah.” &nbsp;&nbsp;

Farhad Ghaderi's impassioned video for Canadian artist&nbsp;Jordan Klassen, nominated at last month's UK Music Video Awards 2019, tells the story of two brothers, where an upcoming sports event becomes the opportunity&nbsp;to strive for something better.&nbsp;&nbsp;This fine work by DoP-turned-director Ghaderi, shot in British Columbia and created via the support of the MVP Project - a joint initiative of RBCxMusic and the Prism Prize, administered by the Academy of Canadian Cinema &amp; Television -&nbsp;features a tremendous performance by&nbsp;Antoine Olivier Pilon as the elder brother, exorcising his own demons by training his the younger for his big race.

In Canadian director Lucas Hrubizna's&nbsp;stirring video for Sam Tudor, we follow two&nbsp;teens as their lifeless bodies float through the halls of their high school.&nbsp;lacing the actors in a range of setups either facing away, or with their faces obscured, Hrubizna follows the song lyrics like a script, achieving a balance between realism and concept.The camera is in constant motion, to mirror the teens being drawn to something, and the nods to artwork such as&nbsp;René Magritte’s Not To Be Reproduced&nbsp;create haunting imagery within the scenes. The careful use of VFX in this impressive video helps to keep things looking naturalistic, and gives the final shot real impact.&nbsp;
