The Weeknd heralds his new album Dawn FM with a spectacular and nightmarish promo from Matilda Finn.&nbsp;The video for Gasoline is dripping in Finn's harrowing, hyperreal aesthetic, and follows an elderly version of the artist, who crashes his car into a stop sign and descends into a Hellish realm.&nbsp;He regains consciousness in a crowded room, where sinful beings are grappling for whatever physical pleasures they can acquire -&nbsp;sex, drugs, violence... it's all on the cards in this place.&nbsp;The crowd begin to show their true colours, as their faces distort into monstrous forms, and The Weeknd has a face-off with a younger version of himself, ending in another death.&nbsp;This is an enigmatic expression of existential despair in Matilda Finn's signature style, and it's&nbsp;outstanding work. The video touches upon life, death and addiction, and does so with sublime style - and lots of creepy crawlies.&nbsp;

The Weeknd 'Gasoline' by Matilda Finn

The Weeknd - Gasoline (Official Music Video)

Matilda Finn delivers a surreal and disturbing&nbsp;nightclub-set thriller for Brodinski, inspired by nightclub scenes in the classic hip-hop film&nbsp;Belly, with added notes&nbsp;of David Lynch's Blue Velvet.Overlooking the sexy moves on the dancefloor, a tweaked-out, earphone-wearing Mr. Big&nbsp;descends from the VIP section to join the party, stop everyone in his tracks, and command his security to bring him a terrified partner to indulge his&nbsp;gruesome predeliction. And it ends with a bang.&nbsp;Finn builds the tension through the relentless drive of the simple yet shockingly eery&nbsp;narrative, threatening chaos over ZelooperZ's unhinged vocal on&nbsp;Master Selection, within her perfectly executed world - a club that switches from&nbsp;glamourous and inviting, to dangerous and claustrophobic in seconds. The cinematography by Ben Fordesman is superb, so is the grade by Myles Bevan. Above all, a virtuoso masterclass of direction by&nbsp;Matilda Finn.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Matilda Finn teams up with Apparat for the stunning video for Heroist.Featuring a mix of experimental video and dark, raw photography, the frenetic visuals mirror the irregular beat of the track, building to a breakneck climax.Focussing&nbsp;on several seemingly unconnected vignettes, the film places a huge emphasis on human nature, characterisation and surreal perspectives of life, and each scene links back to this overarching theme.&nbsp;

Bob Moses&#39;s Enough To Believe from the duo&#39;s most recent album Battle Lines is a midnight dream -&nbsp;beautiful but slightly pained, like someone who takes rest at a fork in the road; reflective at a time when life is a continuous stream of incidents and feelings.&nbsp;And the band tapped director Matilda Finn to create music video that brings this compelling moment of change to life.MATILDA FINN:&quot;The video concept for Enough To Believe&nbsp;is a visual painting of the internalized struggle.&nbsp;Life&#39;s struggles come in ebbs and flows, and when I listen to this track, it made me think of &#39;the hero&#39;s journey.&#39; This is the concept that is used for narrative storytelling.&quot;It&#39;s based on the theory that in life itself you are faced with numerous cycles of challenges. You can either choose to take these challenges on and evolve, or you can ignore them. Ignoring them inevitably leads to veering down the wrong path, even then we are still then always faced with challenges in order for us to accept and evolve.&quot;

Matilda Finn brings her signature surrealism to bear on Rosie Lowe&#39;s&nbsp;supercool slow funk jam Pharoah.A variation on the William Tell fable sees a girl with an apple on her head being the target of a blind archer. What happens next, under bright blue summer skies, are a series of strange supernatural events with the allegorical weight of a grown-up fairy tale.Eventually this girl joins a bevy of maidens with similarly bloodstained white dresses, and red feet. And half-eaten apples...

Matilda Finn creates a moving collage to reflect Jay Rock&#39;s political words to For What It&#39;s Worth,&nbsp;bringing to life the characters in his lyrics&nbsp;as they appear like ghosts along the sidewalk.In contrast to the pale linear tracking shot, the visuals suddenly plunge into darkness midway through the video, capturing closer and more intimate portraits. Finn masterfully causes tension through the raw reality of the situations depicted in this video, mainly shot in neutral monochrome tones, but then breaking into a powerful midnight blue.Matilda Finn has just signed to Stink Films&nbsp;for commercial and music video representation in the UK. Katie Lambert, EP of Music at Stink in London,&nbsp;says:&nbsp;&quot;We&rsquo;re overjoyed. I feel like Matilda is a unique voice and artist. I cannot wait to see what we do next.&quot; &nbsp;

Matilda Finn&#39;s video for Sophie Hunger begins with a silent prelude, in a house shrouded in grief, where a young woman surveys the body of an aged relative, laid out before her burial. But then the body changes.Suddenly, its all action: a car rally in the forest, a car careering through the woods in a race against time, surrounded by cheering crowds. The driver strives to cut seconds with an ever faster and dangerous drive, to the alarm of the co-driver.It&#39;s the stuff of testosterone-heavy films down the ages, but the difference here is that everyone, from driver to crowd to mourners are female. And as she has done so successfully in the past Finn charts a path in her images - beautfully shot by Ben Fordesman in sun-kissed Ukraine - between urgent reality and a surreal dreamscape. The characters, storyline only make total sense in relation to the track. As it should be.&nbsp;

Matilda Finn has created a memorably intense&nbsp;and sexy fantasy-horror for Bipolar Sunshine.A beautiful woman enters an apartment, and gracefully stalks a prone, alive but paralysed man, toying with her prey. And then this top predator moves onto her next victim...&nbsp;This scenario for Bipolar Sunshine&#39;s Easy To Do is all mysterious mood and atmosphere, a series of unsettling but beautiful images (beautifully shot by Ben Fordesman) that build to little stabs of terror. It&#39;s also a big cinematic&nbsp;statement from Finn following her successes in 2017 that culminated in her winning Best New Director at the UKMVAs last year.

After her excellent video for <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/07/20/danny-brown-lost-matilda-finn" target="_blank">Danny Brown&#39;s Lost</a>, Matilda Finn&#39;s video for Nigeria-born, London-based artist Obongjayar is just as atmospheric, and perhaps even more disorientating.A wandering and rotating steadicam shot establishes the extraordinary setting: a&nbsp;nightclub of fan-fluttering clubbers, into which is intrudced a coffin, carried by dancing pallbearers. The camera passes into a daylight underworld of red clay, then returns to the club and its unlikely funeral procession.&nbsp;It&#39;s another video where Finn creates an unpredictable and sensual world&nbsp;with great conviction.&nbsp;

Danny Brown is cooking something up in the kitchen - just not sure it&#39;s food - in this superbly hallucinatory video directed by Matilda Finn.With a great use of extreme low angles and close-ups, and gritty black and white photography by&nbsp;Joel Honeywell, Finn builds a sense of existential dread and claustrophobia in the apartment where outsiders are keen to be admitted and sample the wares.At the same time,&nbsp;amid Danny&#39;s fear and self-loathing and tenuous grasp of reality, there are scantily-clad girls and cash. Finn comes at&nbsp;these&nbsp;hip-hop staples from a new viewpoint - and still makes them sexy.

A2 and Matilda Finn are constantly in motion here in this dizzying video for X2 (Dble).Evoking some of the tamer camera movements in Gaspar Noe&#39;s Irreversible,&nbsp;only with considerably less horrifying debauchery, the video rotates on a constantly developing axis - a social gathering that manages to be sexy, menacing, cool and artfully complex. With the background juddering and warping around as though this is the last scene you&#39;re witnessing as you slowly fall to the floor, passing out from sheer excess.&nbsp;
