Live It Up, the official song from the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, brings together Puerto Rican superstar Nicky Jam, Hollywood royalty Will Smith and pop newcomer Era Istrefi - and Yasha Malekzad has directed&nbsp;a video that delivers a charismatic performance from each artist, a feast of World Cup football footage, guest cameos and a gritty urban aesthetic that&nbsp;is surprising for an official World Cup video.&nbsp;&nbsp;Predominantly filmed in Budapest, to fit around Will Smith&#39;s movie shooting schedule, each perfomer has their own big performance set-piece:&nbsp;Nicky Jam is backed by a brass band on an industrial-looking iron bridge; Era Istrefi sings whilst in a council estate setting circled by drift cars; while Will Smith performs&nbsp;in front of group of flag bearers and horses in an abandoned warehouse.At the same time, there are football-related vignettes, cameos from Brazilian stars old and new - the great Ronaldinho, and current star Willian &ndash; and lots of World Cup action.&nbsp;It&#39;s almost exciting as the 2018 tournament itself.Additional footage was filmed in London, and Kingston, Jamaica, in a video that Malekzad and the team at Artist Preserve heroically pulled around in a matter of days. The fastmoving pace and&nbsp;gritty aesthetic&nbsp;helps to give the Caribbean-sounding song a more Russian feel, but there&#39;s no diminishing the feelgood factor. And that&#39;s completely appropriate for what is turning out to be a classic World Cup.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Hugo Jenkins&#39; clip for Dusseldorf-based duo Grandbrothers is a stream-of-conscious study of memory, family and spirituality.The clip uses multiple formats in a disparate, fragmented editing style to explore the ideas of spiritual therapeutic&nbsp;tasks and unwilling self-improvement exercises - each one encouraged&nbsp;by family members or outsiders. It&#39;s a sinister atmosphere that pits time, memory and the self against one another in a beautifully composed frame.
