Priya Ahluwalia directs a quietly forceful video for Grace Carter's poerfully anthmeic Riot.Carter's poised performance, sitting at a candlelit table, and the red-costumed focus among a white-gowned Bass Note Collective choir, is intercut with everyday scenes and naturalistic portraits of Black Britons at work, at leisure and with family.Felipe Szulc's grade emphasises the distinction with a richly colourful treatment for the performance, and black and white for the documentary element.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Grace Carter has written: "This song is about injustice. I’m so proud of what myself and the director Priya Ahluwalia have created. It was important to me that this video wasn’t dark, I wanted it to be uplifting. So much of what we see in the media when it comes to Black people is linked to trauma and suffering but I don’t think that's a fair representation of what being Black really means. It is also about community, unity and lifting each other up."I had the amazing honour of being able to share the screen with Bass Note Collective for this one and I honestly had goosebumps the whole time we shot together. This song is about coming together and collectively using our voices to make a change. The lyrics of this song seem to be made relevant time and time again, we still have a long way to go. I hope this one makes you feel something." &nbsp;

Sophie Edelstein directs a&nbsp;mesmerising promo for&nbsp;Suki Waterhouse.&nbsp;In the video for To Love, we see the artist appear in an abyss-like studio environment, performing a series of movements as light refracts from her dazzling outfit.&nbsp;As the video progresses, we see a live action reflection moving in tandem with Waterhouse, eventually revealed to be her sister, Immy.&nbsp;Exploring the duality of life and love in a unique, refreshing way, the video has a beautifully vintage aesthetic which transitions between colour and black and white, and feels like a blend of performance and fashion film.&nbsp;

Being both super-cool and completely grounded is not easy but Oscar Boyson hits the sweet spot in his video for the returning Phoenix, plus Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, for Tonight.Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars and the rest of the band are in Paris, of course, while Koenig is hanging out in Tokyo. The screen is split throughout to accommodate footage from both cities, including performances from the artists. It's smoothly cosmopolitan, with simple visual tricks bringing the two elements together, and the cinematography by DoP Zack Spiger is marvellous.The way its made also gives the sense of work being done, and the song actually being created. It's artful but it also feels authentic.

Muse are back with their first release in four years - and immediately at full throttle -&nbsp;with Jared Hogan's sci-fi epic for Won't Stand Down.&nbsp;The video sees an ancient woman masked with vocalist Matt Bellamy's face, drawing power from a faceless army and transcending into an augmented being.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;From the futuristic art direction through to the&nbsp;seamless VFX and dynamic cinematography, the video is a tour de force&nbsp;of creativity which builds to a rip-roaring, intense climax. And the&nbsp;haunting silicone mask the lead character wears jumps right into the uncanny valley, and makes for an uncomfortable viewing experience in the best way.&nbsp;Like every Muse video, there is an important message bubbling under the surface, this time focused on standing up against bullies and oppressors. Filmed in Ukraine - producers MrMr teamed up with Shelter in Kiev for the production of the video - the concept perfectly encapsulates these themes.

Hector Dockrill directs an imposing promo for Tendai's Not Around.&nbsp;The video opens on a city rooftop at night, as the skyline unravels behind the artist, and a palpable sense of danger lingers in the air.&nbsp;Cutting inside an apartment block, we see Tendai perform the track in a series of gritty vignettes, all shot in high contrast black and white.&nbsp;The final third of the visual - that was filmed on location in Kiev -&nbsp;is an impressive feat. As the artist steps out onto a balcony, the camera backs away to hang suspended in mid-air above&nbsp;him. Then it&nbsp;pans back across to the skyline, revealing a post-apocalyptic scene which signals the end of humanity.&nbsp;

Following his award-winning video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/03/23/aigel-youre-born-andzej-gavriss/63910" target="_blank">Aigel's You're Born</a>, and the experimental short Malaria, Latvian director Andzej Gavriss's latest project is a big step forward into cinematic narrative -&nbsp;a&nbsp;dark, boldly imagined story of a damaged rock singer, on a rehab program like no other.Filmed in Ukraine, and co-produced by 2332 Films,&nbsp;Eleusis is a tremendously atmospheric fantasy-thriller, where the catatonic pop singer Ivan is delivered into the custody of a mysterious sanitorium which guarantees the creative rejuvenation of its patients - but at a terrible cost.The rock star (Ivan Dorn) must suffer ordeals at the hands of the Nurse Cratchet-like mystic (played by Natalia Kara) who leads a coven of maidens to send him into delirium, and make him suffer nightmarish dreams - all made breathlessly plausible by the mesmerizing quality of the production.&nbsp;With both an extraordinarily grand&nbsp;location and excellent cast - including&nbsp;the Ostapenko brothers, three identical triplets who play the sanatorium's security detail - Gavriss builds his story on a movie-like scale, ably assisted by a talented team including production designer Julija Fricsone Gavriss and cinematographer Jacob Moller, to its harrowing climax.Eleusis is over twenty minutes in length, and it is a riveting watch from first to last.&nbsp;And surely&nbsp;it is the calling card to ensure that Gavriss's future lies in feature films.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Royal-Blood--'Limbo'-by-Joao-Retorta-

We spend half our lives looking at screens - so NOISY&nbsp;and director Joao Retorta pose a crucial question: are we wishing our lives away?&nbsp;&nbsp;In his blistering video for I Wish I Was A... Retorta sends us into the head of a VR set-wearing youth, triggering an avalanche of imagery that idealises body image, sex, love, and pulsating, visceral excitement. But is any of it actually real?NOISY, with their distinctive brand of dance, pop and indie-rock, become a crucial part of these scenarios - particularly frontman Cody. His charisma and&nbsp;energy provides the focus as we waver between fantasy and reality.Shot in Kiev before Covid restrictions kicked in -&nbsp;at the Soviet-era Expocenter of Ukraine - a range of&nbsp;spectacular scenes are beautifully shot by UKMVA nominee Harry Wheeler,&nbsp;and graded by Jason Wallis. It's definitely worth some of your&nbsp;screentime.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Taz Tron Delix guides&nbsp;us through&nbsp;a surreal and hallucinatory trip with no escape&nbsp;in the new video for CamelPhat, featuring Jem Cooke.&nbsp;Following the high octane visual for Stormzy's Audacity, Delix has swapped out the 18-wheelers and stunts for a neon-lit fever dream, reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, with increasingly erotic overtones.&nbsp;We are introduced to an oblivious, wide-eyed Alice as she explores a disturbing underground world, where the line between reality and fantasy has been irreparably blurred. The visions could be a hypnotic dream or an enticing nightmare, and the only way&nbsp;she can truly escape is by embracing her dark side and letting her desires overwhelm her.Pulling from Delix's cinematic inspirations, there are further references to other classic films, including Peter Weir’s The Truman Show and&nbsp;Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut.&nbsp;"The idea behind the film was to take our audience on a deep inward journey into another dimension and alternate spaces, highlighting the emotional journey as a result," he says. And that's exactly what it achieves.

CamelPhat X Jem Cooke 'Rabbit Hole' by Taz Tron Delix

Camelphat-'Rabbit-Hole'-by-Taz-Tron-Delix

Stormzy rules a dystopian industrial world in Taz Tron Delix's video for Audacity.&nbsp;Riding on top of a HGV as it piles down a foggy motorway, the message is clear: Stormzy is done playing games, and is calling out the audacity of those who doubt his worth.&nbsp;With slick shots of fire-swept concrete wastelands, strobing performance setups and burning piles of cash, the visual is a statement and a warning. Stormzy isn't going anywhere, so it's time to pay him the respect he deserves.&nbsp;With brilliant production values and talent across the creative team, this is a real standout among the year's releases, just before we enter the next decade.&nbsp;
