Harun Güler directs an idiosyncratic promo for legendary German singer Herbert Grönemeyer.The video for&nbsp;Angstfrei&nbsp;sees a diverse&nbsp;cast of characters break free from their drab routines and start dancing, coming together in an ensemble of playful movement.&nbsp;Building to a climax of unabashed Dad-dancing, it's an upbeat video that oozes feel-good charm, captured in a slick, tactile manner.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Herbert Grönemeyer 'Angstfrei' by Harun Güler

ANGSTFREI / Herbert Grönemeyer

Harun Güler challenges traditional definitions of masculinity, in his brilliant promo for Turkish artist Evdeki Saat.The impassioned&nbsp;dance and boundary-shattering performance brings masculinity and gender into conversation in a stylish and dramatic fashion, and ends on a hopeful note.&nbsp;"The film is about the double-life of a Turkish boy, stuck between ultra masculinity and their inner desire to break free," explains&nbsp;Güler. "When developing the main character together with our actor Eren M. Güvercin it was important for us to depict someone outside of any binaries.&nbsp;"I envision a society in which the question of what gender or sexuality someone belongs to becomes absolutely trivial.”

Evdeki Saat 'Sustum' by Harun Güler

SUSTUM.

Harun Güler creates a moody visual world for AVES' single Gem of the Ocean&nbsp;to inhabit.Pairing Icelandic artist JDFR's haunting vocals with the jarring narrative of a self-destructive relationship between two young partygoers, the video is unnerving and captivating.&nbsp;Shot on 16mm film, the visuals are intimate and sexually charged, a celebration of the human body and soul, and a meditation on how our experiences transform&nbsp;and shape&nbsp;our&nbsp;emotions.&nbsp;Crisp and sharp, the abundance of&nbsp;natural&nbsp;light is utilised to perfection, and the contrast between the bright performance scenes and dimly lit party setups represent the dark and the light in every situation. There is good and bad in everything, and the important thing is to enjoy the present, here and now, without constantly fretting over the past or future.&nbsp;
