Bertil Vorre directs a charmingly surreal promo for Mads Langer, that was nominated at this year's UK Music Video Awards in the Best Pop Video - Newcomer category.&nbsp;Written for a Danish music television show where an artist is asked to write a song to Denmark, Ukendt Land&nbsp;is a song about looking up and finding light in dark times—as well as accepting that any light will always come with darkness.[imgtoken data:1]Taking place within an&nbsp;absurd (yet strangely familiar) dystopian Denmark, the video follows a man lost in life, who takes steps to find meaning and catharsis.&nbsp;Boasting ingenious production design from Martin Johannsen of Van Horn alongside striking VFX work from Onki VFX, the video is a dazzling spectacle, and great fun to watch.Just don't attempt any of these stunts at home kids.&nbsp;

Jonatan Egholm Keis directs a beachside epic for&nbsp;James McMorrow &amp;&nbsp;Rudimental collaboration on Be Somebody.&nbsp;Shot across various locations in Denmark, the video represents a crumbling relationship through abstract vignettes and choppy, intense edits.&nbsp;Visualising the upbeat music through frenetic movement, we see a couple ride a motorbike at dusk, freefall down sandy dunes and have fiery, heat-of-the-moment arguments, whilst backdropped by dazzling landscapes.&nbsp;There might not be much of a narrative, but the concept is&nbsp;all the better for it - and DoP&nbsp;Robin Holtz ensures that every frame is a worthy still image in its own right.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

James McMorrow ft Rudimental 'Be Somebody' by Jonatan Egholm Keis

Jonatan Egholm Keis directs a tour de force of love and obsession, in this fateful vampire tale for Drew Sycamore.&nbsp;Inspired by the Twilight teen flicks and old school Hollywood portrayals of the pale Count Dracula, the promo is&nbsp;a short film turned music video, which was shot across more than seven&nbsp;locations in Denmark&nbsp;– including an abandoned hospital and a 1430s monastery.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Robin Holtz&nbsp;infuses the cinematography with indulgent colour palettes and richly textured compositions, interweaving experimental camera movement&nbsp;with more traditional setups.Capturing&nbsp;a perfect blend of nostalgia and vibrant snapshots of modern vampire lore, Keis' directing anchors the sprawling concept with a sense of intimacy and danger, which is perfectly interpreted and performed by Sycamore.&nbsp;
