Joe Wilson

As we know, no Glastonbury this year. No festivals at all. It hardly seems possible. But&nbsp;this could be the closest you get to a transcendent experience in a field:&nbsp;Joe Wilson's video for Just Hold On, the latest collaboration between Sub Focus and Wilkinson, takes us into the private rave of two friends, at golden hour.&nbsp;Set in&nbsp;countryside&nbsp;peppered with rocky structures and lush scenery, the two girls drink, dance and smoke the evening away as the sun sets. Or possibly rises. The&nbsp;video evokes carefree snapshots of youth and friendship, beautifully visualised by&nbsp;Ed Hubert's loose and experimental cinematography.Things start in fairly straightforward narrative form, but then the imagery begins to reflect the girls' state of trippy bliss. Film frames blur, and then double-expose: grainy textures&nbsp;are laid upon frenzied close-ups, building into a glitchy kaleidoscope of memories, dissipating as quickly as they formed. Just like you're having the time of your life in the Green Fields this midsummer...

Sub Focus & Wilkinson 'Just Hold On' by Joe Wilson

Subfocus-&-Wilkinson-'Just-Hold-On'-by-Joe-Wilson

Two smalltown dreamers search for meaning in the present moment&nbsp;in Joe Wilson's video for Sub Focus.&nbsp;&nbsp;Opening in the middle of a field, the pair are lying on the floor shirtless, laughing in a drugged-up haze as they watch the sun set.As we follow them through the vast hills, they meet up with a couple of girls to make out, siphon fuel from a truck on the side of the road and pick some suspicious-looking mushrooms from a farm.Laidback and carefree, the video pays homage to Modjo's Lady, mirroring the unbridled youthful energy that was just as enduring back in 2000 as it is almost twenty years later in this video.&nbsp;Aesthetically reminiscent of the 80s and 90s, the hazy lighting and soft focus are both charming and nostalgic, lending a universal vibe to the project.&nbsp;

He's a raver&nbsp;who's mad for Acid House - but he's thirty years too late...Joe Wilson's charming video for Paul Woolford &amp; Karen Harding follows the wacky path of a guy who missed it when it happened, but who's determined to enjoy the golden age of rave, even it means doing it all on his own. And all he needs is his imagination, a pair of white gloves and a dab of icing sugar to fulfil his fantasies.What is really good about the video for You Already Know is the knowing and loving recreation of the era, as our deluded hero plays out the archetypal roles, from bouncer to blissed-out raver. A very affectionate, even poignant comedy - for a banger of a house tune.

UK hip hop super group Cult of the Damned return with another one take video, this one shot on 16mm by Broken Antenna.And it also features multiple lens and rig changes whilst still rolling - BA reminding the viewer that there definitely were no cuts when the camera went to white on a lens change by scratching in &#39;This is Not a Cut&#39; to the negative.

Cult Of The Damned 'Nicole' by Broken Antenna

Slick Don gets back together with Broken Antenna for Dat Boi, and the result is a super-inventive and energetic video which elevates Don&#39;s performance through some slick, but mostly lo-fi, visual&nbsp;effects.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gustav and Myles (aka Broken Antenna) mix analogue collage - consisting of 2386 stills printed hand cut out and scanned back in - with phrenetic in-camera match cutting techniques.&quot;To add an extra element of DIY aesthetic we then added extra elements of hand drawn crayon and scanned in some diagrams and labels that we had used in the making of the video,&quot; explain Broken Antenna. It&#39;s an added post-modernist touch that&#39;s going to make this video quite freeze-frameable for camera nerds.

Formerly a member of the B.O.M.B Squad grime collective, Hak Baker has become a compelling performer of &#39;G-Folk&#39; and troubadour-chronicler of life in his home patch of the&nbsp;Isle Of Dogs. He&#39;s also made some strong videos, and the latest directed by Broken Antenna is the strongest yet: a remarkably vivid celebration of the traditional East London &#39;knees-up&#39;.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shot in 35mm and 16mm by DoP Harry Wheeler and graded by Jack McGinity at Time Based Arts, the Like It Or Lump It video is an&nbsp;authentic document with a sense of in-your-face hyperreality. It&#39;s more excellent work from the Broken Antenna directing team who&#39;s video for Slick Don&#39;s Highs And Lows was nominated at this year&#39;s UKMVAs.&nbsp;

Broken Antenna&#39;s clip for Swet&nbsp;Shop Boys is an explosive celebration of British Asian culture.Riz Ahmed and Himanshu Suri, supported by a cast of Asian youth are carrying fireworks, illuminated&nbsp;by drones and occupying estates in a very intentional play on prejudice. Broken Antenna is setting up a wry bait-and-switch: nothing sinister is about to take place, despite the ideas an audience might get from the images presented to them. The cast light up the night sky in celebration of culture and community, Diwali Style.Swet&nbsp;Shop Boys and Broken Antenna here delivering a distinct piece of political commentary.
