Ramez Silyan evokes the name of the band and the song, and channels the cinematic spirit of David Lynch and Gregory Crewdson in this gorgeous, beautifully crafted video for Californian band The Neighbourhood.Shot by Bobby Pavlovsky, the video for Private takes us into American suburbia in all its ominous perfection. The world of Lynch's Blue Velvet - often referenced in videos, but rarely done as well as it is here.Silyan's twist on the convention is to have the band perform the song within this dream suburban setting at night - a night so dark that it becomes like a dream.It is beautiful and beautifully artificial - and it's the band themselves that provide the realism, in the unshowy yet impressive performance. They are determinedly rocking out - and that's what gets the curtains twitching in this eerily private world.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]

Fiona Jane Burgess directs the latest video&nbsp;for The Last Dinner Party in a real departure from their canon up to this point: a poignant, character-driven&nbsp;short film with no appearance by the band.The promo for The Scythe follows an elderly couple (played by Richard Durden and Eileen Nicholas) on a quiet journey through the English countryside, focussing on a series of scenes on the journey. Without a backstory or dramatic arc, it invites the viewer to fill in the narrative details themselves - and find&nbsp;beauty in the ordinary and unspoken.[imgtoken data:1]“The Scythe is a song about love, and so this film is a testament to that," explains&nbsp;Fiona Jane Burgess.&nbsp;"The band came to me with an idea about seeing an older couple on a journey, and I thought that was refreshing since we live in such a youth-obsessed culture."I also love road movies, so it was fun to have the opportunity to make one! The actors were fantastic and brought so much energy to the screen despite two very long and demanding shoot days."The shoot itself was an adventure, driving from place to place discovering hidden gems with a brilliant crew and meeting locals along the way (some of whom are in the film!) I worked with cinematographer Mika Altskan and we shot on 35mm 4-perf which was a dream."So many people helped bring this film to life and I'm so grateful to The Last Dinner Party and their team for being such amazing collaborators.”

The three finalists were then chosen from a shortlist of ten submissions.Each finalist will receive £2,000 funding and post-production assistance from Homespun, and post partners Sine Audio Post, Absolute, Freefolk and Nineteentwenty. The competition is also backed by&nbsp;Kodak, APA&nbsp;and Sine Audio Post.Ciara O’Rourke &amp; Jack Clarke will bring their twist on the end of the world to their short&nbsp;Don’t Believe A Word I Say. O'Rourke is a director and award-winning production designer from Doncaster, known for her surreal, stylistic and heartfelt visual storytelling.

For the returning Maribou State, Brazilian filmmaker&nbsp;Giordano Maestrelli tells a story of lost love by employing some of the oldest techniques in cinema within a bold new structure.&nbsp;The subject of the film for All I Need is the complexity of a broken relationship, told through parallel timelines. At the centre of the story is a couple - their past life unfolds through fragments and the present plays out in the background where their lost love echoes. And&nbsp;to allow the flashback story of the couple's love affair to coexist within the present, Maestrelli&nbsp;built a custom zoetrope device inspired by early motion picture pioneer&nbsp;Eadweard Muybridge.In this meticulous undertaking the director first shot the story on 16mm film, then printed into more than 2500 still frames, and re-sequenced it through the custom circular machine in a stop-motion-like technique. Shooting over 23 hours, thousands of delicate frames were replaced one by one while a crew member manually turned the machine at a millimetric degree, and another captured the action.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;The zoetrope enables one narrative to take place inside a contained, looping environment, which set out to resemble the way unprocessed emotions often linger. Meanwhile, behind it, the same setting appears as a ghostly representation of what is no more.&nbsp;With a visual language rooted in early cinema but a vision firmly fixed on today’s music video aesthetics,&nbsp;All I Need&nbsp;is a technically-daring love letter for the song that&nbsp;features on Maribou State’s latest album&nbsp;Hallucinating Love, their first since a multiple-year long hiatus following bandmember Chris Davids’ rare and debilitating brain illness.&nbsp;The result is a mesmerising and haunting&nbsp;blend of cinematic craftsmanship, memories and emotion.

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.”
