Jara Moravec has directed a wonderfully heartfelt and uplifting video for the long-awaited return of Belgian-born singer-songwriter&nbsp;Stromae.Co-directed by&nbsp;Stromae’s creative director Luc Van Haver - the brother of the artist, aka Paul Van Haver - the visual reflects the sentiment behind the song Santé, which is an ode to the people who seem invisible but yet are vital to our communities, often immigrants from other cultures into those communities. It's a call for respect to the ones who keep everything going, without ever receiving recognition.So Moravec&nbsp;and Van Haver introduce us to this world of forgotten workers -&nbsp;the fishermen, cleaners, bakers, cooks and office workers - who during the course of the video are all drawn into a basic, part animated dance tutorial that appears on their TVs, which is presented by Stromae.It's shot in a humane documentary-style, and the authenticity of these unsung heroes is unquestionable - but as the dance tutorial starts to make its influence felt upon these initially tentative participants, a sense of euphoria grows.With this wonderful song - influenced, as is so much of Stromae's music by his Congolese roots - the effect is transcendent.[imgtoken data:1]

Two young men are brought together in a series of repeating loops, in Czech director Jára Moravec's video for Elderbrook's Why Do We Shake In The Cold?The two friends - played by dancers&nbsp;Antonín Ničovský and Daniel Vitešník - stumble&nbsp;around the palatial location in a state of wonder, transitioning into distorted choreography and glitchy movements.&nbsp;Completely mesmerising,&nbsp;the use of a drone-mounted 360 degree camera makes for hypnotic and mind-bending shots, elevating the otherworldly nature of the concept and blurring the boundary between reality and fiction.&nbsp;
