HAIM return with a sumptuous video by Camille Summers Valli for the first single from the sisters' first album since 2020.It's Summers Valli's first promos since her acclaimed work for METTE in 2023 (including Mama's Eyes, winner of Video of the Year at the UKMVAs). As with those for METTE, the director employs her considerable powers here to draw the viewer into a powerful and intimate experience with the band's&nbsp;lead singer Alana Haim.The video for Relationships brings us into the world of Alana and her sisters - and into the euphoria of Alana's affair with her lover, played by Drew Starkey. This is portrayed at a cinematic level consistent with a movie or high quality TV drama, and&nbsp;HAIM are clearly comfortable in this territory. After all, they have been regular collaborators with&nbsp;Paul Thomas Anderson and Jake Schreier.But there is nothing in the sister's fine canon of music videos which is quite as frank and sensual as this, nor does it forget its function as a music video. The effect is stunning.&nbsp;

London-based Romanian director Mihai Feflea directs an absorbing&nbsp;promo for singer-songwriter and rapper Killa Fonic.&nbsp;Shot in Bucharest on Kodak 16mm film, the video for the Romanian artist's track Păsări Migratoare showcases the artist's&nbsp;multiplicity of alter-egos, as Feflea crafts a stark yet immersive world, where shifting environments and characterisations merge into abstract narrative setups.&nbsp;Inspired by Jean Luc Godard's colour montage and Hong Kong cinema of the 2000s, the visual has a textural, grungy aesthetic, elevated by the idiosyncratic vignettes. Very cool.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Cosmo Wellings is compelled into performing an eccentric dance all over London&nbsp;in Jim Longden's latest quirky outing for French indie band Oracle Sisters.After the splendid on-screen peformances in his previous videos for the band - the UKMVA-nominated Alouette and Blue Left Hand - Longden draws another one from the mesmerizing Wellings here for Marseille. And its all about his dance&nbsp;- a combination of child-friendly teapot-arm shapes with vagely obscene hip thrusts - captured in a series of obscure locations, from alleyways and graveyards to zebra crossings and petting zoos.Throughout, the band are performing the track on a distant skyscraper rooftop - but Longden has a final surprise in store.“With the entire budget spent on 16mm film, we were lucky to be blessed with the lead’s newly acclaimed ‘Mighty Light Hip Thrust,’ also known as the ‘Wonder Thrust'," says Longden. "Racing against time as winter’s darkness approached, our skeleton crew of five paced through the streets of London—serenading donkeys, goats, and graveyards in this deliriously orchestrated bonanza.”[imgtoken data:1]

Leo Villares and Victor Nauwynck venture into Rocky Horror territory with their visually inventive romp into the world of mad scientists and their botched creations for English multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Ed Tullett - aka&nbsp;Lowswimmer.In the video for IRL we enter the depths of a factory-turned-laboratory, to discover the twin creations of the latest cloning experiment by a trio of suspiciously excitable white-coated scientists. And then the girls are&nbsp;introduced to their 'siblings' - the results of the scientists' previous experiments.[imgtoken data:1]With events escalating from the girls' initial wonder at their setting, to cartoonish body horror and beyond, Villares and Nauwynck establish a wild comic tone and sense of the unpredictable in this low budget gem, summed up in a remarkable&nbsp;sequence involving both a regurgitation and a tug of war. It's impossible to tear your eyes away from.&nbsp;This is an impressively well-crafted production, with excellent practical effects, SFX make-up and cinematography, helmed by a UK-based Brazilian/Belgian directing partnership with a strong vision drawn from a wealth of cinematic influences. And it was&nbsp;shot in Pope's Yard Brewery in Watford. Excellent work.

Milo Blake tells a surrealist fable for Oscar Jerome’s The Fork.The film explores rebirth, memory, and existentialism, inspired by the South London-based musician's&nbsp;own spiritual journey and for the title track from his forthcoming new album, his first new music in a couple of years.Filmed in Latvia and set against vast landscapes, it begins with Jerome unearthing a metal object buried in a quarry: a bust of himself. Later, when he arrives at a huge deserted cinema, the bust offers up its own treasure.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;Milo Blake uses the metaphor of cinema and introspection to reflect the emotions and influences we carry within us - fear, wonder, love&nbsp;and transformation."Each of us carry a bank of all the things that have influenced, created wonder, fear, love, sadness and anger which all play back in the cinema's of our minds," he says. "This is what the music video embodies and when we can see what’s truly important, it changes who we are and how we see the world.”

Oscar Jerome 'The Fork' by Milo Blake

Oscar Jerome - The Fork (Official Film)

Dan French recreates the early 70s pop promo for Elton John's Step Into Christmas, and then imagines the almighty&nbsp;chaos that occured behind the scenes on the shoot&nbsp;- with the 1973 Elton played by actress and model Cara Delevingne.The hugely entertaining&nbsp;video&nbsp;reproduces shots from Elton's studio performance in the original visual - featuring&nbsp; Delevingne&nbsp;as an uncanny facsmile of glam-era Elton, plus doppelgangers of his band - while adding the story of the production team frantically attempting to add some festive flavour to proceedings.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Despite the addition of a festive feather boa, balloons and confetti, chaos reigns as they wrangle an escaped turkey, fail to book a real reindeer (and find a donkey instead) and tackle a deranged fan who storms the set, all whilst Delevingne mirrors Elton’s choicest dance moves and iconic facial expressions from the original promo.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On it's release over 50 years ago, Step Into Christmas failed to trouble the UK Top 20, but it's stepped up in seasonal stature in recent years. The song has charted&nbsp;each December since 2011, and last year it was certified Triple Platinum, 50 years after its release. And Dan French's evocative and consistently funny video&nbsp;is a marvellous way to celebrate it's long journey to becoming a Christmas pop standard.[imgtoken data:2]It also coincides with the release of a new documentary,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQGf_nJ1E9w" target="_blank">Elton John: Never Too Late</a>, where the singer looks back on his life and the astonishing early days of his 50-year career, which premiered on Disney+ last week.&nbsp;"I saw Cara at Glastonbury last summer, and we talked about how much we’d love to work together if the right idea came up," comments Elton.&nbsp;"She’s hilarious to spend time with, we both have quite a self deprecating sense of humour. When someone suggested the idea of her playing me in a riff on the 1973 Step In to Christmas video, I just thought it was the perfect opportunity. Thank God Cara thought the same, because it came out great."[imgtoken data:3]Cara&nbsp;Delevingne adds: "Elton has always been an idol of mine, to say his music has had a deeply profound effect on me is an understatement. To be asked by him to PLAY him in this recreation was a dream that I didn’t know I had until it happened."Honestly I wish I could pretend to be Elton every day. I hope that Elton may one day return the favour and agree to play me in my not yet developed, written, pitched or funded biopic. Fingers crossed."&nbsp;

Björn Rühmann has collaborated with Paul Kalkbrenner and Mother Berlin to create a stunning 12 minute music short film to accompany the&nbsp;electronic music icon's new two song EP. It's the intriguing story, in two distinct parts,&nbsp;of a strange&nbsp;character as he comes into contact with the real, mostly hostile world: the eponymous Kabelmann.Filmed in Manchester and Berlin, with outstanding 16mm cinematography by DoP Krzysztof Trojnar (known for his work on Baby Reindeer) and&nbsp;with&nbsp;a magnetic central performance by&nbsp;Kevin Howarth as Kabelmann,&nbsp;Björn Rühmann has created a highly distinctive cinematic experience with KABELMANN. With the creative originating at&nbsp;Mother Berlin, and produced by SMUGGLER in London and Berlin-based&nbsp;Zauberberg, it was premiered at&nbsp;this year's Ciclope Festival earlier this month.[imgtoken data:1]KABELMANN is surreal, darkly comic, poignant and at times harrowing, as we follow the fortunes of Kabelmann,&nbsp;an individual with 20 metre cables flowing from his body, as he emerges from the forest for his first encounters with normal people.&nbsp;The film is&nbsp;also grounded in a analogue aesthetic, using practical effects that contributes to the overall effect and power of this 'fish out of water' story - including a costume worn by lead actor Howarth featuring 20-meter cables. And Paul Kalkbrenner renamed the names of the two songs on the EP,&nbsp;originally bearing different titles, to Kabelmann 1&nbsp;and Kabelmann 2.&nbsp;Part one of the film is the emotional story arc of an enigmatic outsider. Kabelmann searches for human connection, hindered by a mysterious energy flowing through his cables. Small flashes of the Kalkbrenner himself hint at the source behind Kabelmann's energy. The rhythm of Kalkbrenner's song pushes the story forward. Most encounters on Kabelmann's journey evoke rejection, aggression, and fear – except one with a mysterious woman in a diner, opening a hopeful path for our hero.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]A short interlude where the artist appears again leads into the second part of the music short film. This chapter catapults viewers into a dreamlike afterlife juxtaposed with a violent showdown, leaving Kabelmann's fate ambiguous. The second song by Kalkbrenner serves as the perfect stage for the contrast between the story layers with its optimistic spirit.Paul Kalkbrenner briefed Mother Berlin to come up with the idea for the film, and&nbsp;Stefan Witteman, Creative Director of Mother Berlin, says: "This project was a dream brief. The idea of this character, Kabelmann, was truly inspired by the artist's analogue ways of working. Bringing Kabelmann to life, from the story arc to all visual aspects, was a truly collaborative effort."Mother brought Björn Rühmann into the project who explains: "The process of finding our Kabelmann's destiny took forever – in a great way. We loved exploring all the ways for this character to become the perfect blend of an alter ego of the artist – and a unique, otherworldly hero that captivates the audience."

UK Music Video Awards 2024: Kodak sponsors Best Production Company at UKMVAs

Moses Sumney marks his return to music,&nbsp;after taking time to make his film and TV acting debuts, with a wonderful new single&nbsp;and a superb&nbsp;self-directed music video.The video for Vintage bears the hallmarks of his past directorial work for videos from his last album græ – the auteurial lushness of his live concert film Blackalachia, the comedic surrealism of Cut Me,&nbsp;and the kinetic physicality of Virile. But it also sets out a new phase in Sumney's progression as a music artist with some gorgeous performance set-ups - including a substantial dance&nbsp;sequence by Moses and Brandon Mathis - and a distinct nod to the lush R&amp;B videos of the early Noughties.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]In close collaboration with Moses and cinematographer Marcell Rév (Euphoria, Malcolm &amp; Marie, Miley Cyrus’s Flowers), Kodak supported the music video with a yet-to-be-released and never-before-used motion picture stock, which is similar to a beloved professional still photography film.“Vintage&nbsp;is me sliding into the music I probably listen to most these days – progressive R&amp;B," explains Sumney.&nbsp;"I crafted the video as a callback to the 90s/2000s clips of my childhood, when men weren’t afraid to beg and plead. I am once again begging to join the pantheon of great yearners: K-Ci &amp; Jojo, Omarion, Ray J, Jodeci, Jagged Edge. Desire has always been at the core of my work; now the desire has a little shimmering shimmy to it.”
