Luke Seomore and Joseph Bull's film to accompany 'post-rock' outfit Blessed Are The Heart That Bend's track Palace, follows a young paramedic as he leaves hospital after his shift, and then experiences a rollercoaster of emotions.&nbsp;Rising actor Daniel Ward gives a moving performance as the paramedic who struggles with post-shift fallout as he walks the streets of London, occasionally encountering the characters on the streets at night, but mainly struggling with the impact of his job: the vestiges of adrenaline, the memories, the cathartic release.&nbsp;Filmed around the streets and edglands of East London at night, captured in luminous cinematography by DoP David Procter, this is an insightful study of the psychological impact upon&nbsp;health service workers at times of crisis. It could hardly be more timely, this year of all years.&nbsp;

Blessed Are The Hearts That Bend 'Palace' by Luke Seomore & Joseph Bull

Institute For Eyes - aka directing duo Luke Seomore and Joseph Bull - have created a very atmospheric and mysterious video for former Beta Band and King Biscuit Time frontman Steve Mason's new single Oh My Lord. 
It features a mystery man - with a full Invisible Man-type face and hands bandage - who starts out in the Thames Estuary, then walks into the city via the Rotherhithe Tunnel, to return to a spartan bedroom and, among other things, play with squirming maggots...
In short a very opaque character study, beautifully shot in black and white 16mm by Luke and Joseph's longtime collaborator David Procter.

Directing duo Ben + Lewis explore the dialectic of hedonism and hard knocks at the heart of Crystal Fighters&#39; Champion Sound with their new video.Luke Treadaway (Killing Bono, Attack the Block and Clash of the Titans) plays the concertina-playing busker who&#39;s lured by revellers - and particularly the luminous Georgina Bevan - onto a surreal journey towards self-realisation.Employing a challenging number of locations, cast members and sumptuous styling - with Vivienne Westwood providing clothing throughout - this ambitious production (through Soho-based Saloon Films) is a visual feast - and the band themselves pop up as the extravagantly dressed pied pipers of the pleasure dome.&quot;This is a cinematic narrative-driven piece, which was developed conceptually to reflect the spirit of Crystal Fighters,&quot; explain Ben and Lewis. &quot;The film was a journey for everyone involved. The track was inspiring, as was the commitment of everyone involved in the making of the film. We somehow managed to pull off a huge scale shoot over just two days.&quot;
