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."

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.”

Dan Fromhart directs a ruminative promo for Seattle band No Floor, capturing the group in a&nbsp;dreamlike fashion, opting for textural, abstract shots&nbsp;as&nbsp;opposed to direct-to-camera performance.&nbsp;For the majority of the video for Keep Time, backs are turned, guitars hide faces and the location plays a big part in the frame, adding to the transcendent, almost otherworldly vibe.&nbsp;A powerful, introspective visual that encapsulates the mood of the track."We shot this video on 16mm Kodak film on an unseasonably cold Seattle day," explains Fromhart, who shot the video at the Georgetown Steam Plant museum in Seattle."Our location naturally became its own character in the video," he adds. "The concrete building, built in 1906 housed secret shows in the 80s and 90s, most famously for Steve Albini's band Big Black."&nbsp;

Alfie Dukes starts seeing things on a&nbsp;London bus in the Relta-directed video for Not Quite Gone.&nbsp;Listening to a certain track on his old Walkman turns out to be triggering for Alfie, the unfortunate effect that he starts to see an ex-girlfriend among the passengers.“Do you have a song that reminds you of someone you’re trying to not think about? I have a few,” explains Dukes, explaining the genesis of the song. And set on a moving double decker bus, the video is an ambitious effort&nbsp;to capture exactly that feeling.&nbsp;

Harvey Pearson directs an evocative promo for sister-duo Sarah Julia and their&nbsp;song Caingorms, filmed in the eponymous Scottish mountain range.&nbsp;In the video the sisters are joined by&nbsp;an enigmatic (and very hairy)&nbsp;figure who dwells unobtrusively in the area. He becomes their guide as they retrace paths on the hillsides they have walked many times before. As they explain this symbolic figure&nbsp;has deep significance for them.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“The Cairngorms are a place our Dad used to take us hiking when we were younger," they explain.&nbsp;"It holds a memory of a version of him that we try to hold on to.”&nbsp;This sense of memory and wistfulness is visualised through tender, emotional vignettes, which blur reality and fiction with creative flair. Lovely work with an emotional message from Harvey Pearson.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

David Helman returns to music videos to direct a highly idiosyncratic and enjoyable promo for IDLES.&nbsp;The video for Gift Horse takes place at big-box superstore, which&nbsp;hosts an increasingly eclectic cast of apathetic, transgressive individuals.&nbsp;There's kissing in the aisles, balaclava-adorned kids doing a TikTok dance and newlyweds on a travellator, in an anxiety-inducing, maximalist vision that is impossible to tear your eyes away from.&nbsp;Charmingly strange, anachronistic&nbsp;and over-the-top - what more could you want from an IDLES video?&nbsp;

Harv Frost directs an infectiously fun take on the Bard in this new promo for The Last Dinner Party.The video for&nbsp;Caesar On A TV Screen exudes a whimsical, theatrical energy, as the band stage&nbsp;Shakespeare's Julius Caesar with gusto and no little melodrama - with lead singer Abigail playing the vainglorious Caesar and her bandmates as the Roman politicos who (mini-spoiler)&nbsp;plot to assassinate him. &nbsp;&nbsp;Firmly tongue-in-cheek with a playful, handmade-feel throughout - it's more&nbsp;like a clever school production than a TV adaptation - it&nbsp;indulges the band's evident inclination towards the theatrical. And allows us to speculate on whether the roleplaying reflects how the bandmates really feel about Abigail...It also marks a confident solo directing outing for Harv Frost following her recent standout collaborations with Dora Paphides, with the previous TLDP video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2023/10/13/last-dinner-party-my-lady-mercy-harv-frost-dora-paphides/83648" target="_blank">My Lady Of Mercy</a>, and <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2023/11/17/chinchilla-cut-you-dora-paphides-harv-frost/84230" target="_blank">Chinchilla's Cut You Off</a>.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]
