Ben Strebel has created a strikingly metaphorical and intensely visceral&nbsp;video for The Hour; a harrowing look at disenfranchised Britain and the exploration of freedom.The film features faceless, masked figures engaging in a dramatic event, which appears ominous and threatening. But Strebel invites the viewer to explore their perceptions, as the lack of sinlge identity is shown to be liberating:&nbsp;&nbsp;no class, no gender, no race, no disability. Everyone is the same, and ultimately a supportive community.The Hour is a collective of anonymous artists who themselves wear masks when performing live on stage, allowing the group to change freely over time. The mask is about being free and equal, also captured in Strebel&rsquo;s film.&nbsp;He explains:&nbsp;&ldquo;I wanted to examine the almost utopian idea of anonymity in the face of a society crazed by nihilism (social media driving us to extreme antisocial behaviour and mental illness).&rdquo; &nbsp;&nbsp;

The Hour 'Wasted' by Ben Strebel

After their excellent videos for the likes of LarzRanda and <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/09/10/sheep-dog-wolf-breathe-thunderlips" target="_blank">Sheep, Dog &amp; Wolf</a>&nbsp;in New Zealand,&nbsp;Auckland-based directing duo&nbsp;Jordan Dodson&nbsp;and Sean Wallace - aka THUNDERLIPS &ndash; make an impressive first British video for the returning Two Door Cinema Club. It&nbsp;is&nbsp;a thing of grotesque, slightly&nbsp;bewildering beauty.In the the video for Are We Ready? (Wreck) video, the&nbsp;three members of&nbsp;TDCC&nbsp;are all noxiously cheesy spokesmen&nbsp;for a series of terrible ads for&nbsp;brands with names corresponding to the song&#39;s lyrics.&nbsp;Two of them have been luridly&nbsp;transformed,&nbsp;by Melissa Lackersteen&#39;s makeup job,&nbsp;into puffy-faced, surgery-enhanced&nbsp;versions of themselves. But there&#39;s a battle going on between this artificiality and reality underneath, expressed through lead singer Alex Trimble&#39;s angst and&nbsp;slowly disintegrating face.It&#39;s visually arresting and&nbsp;audacious, and after a couple of views (maybe trying to figure it out what&#39;s going on), another catchy TDCC song will be stuck in your brain.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Johny Mourgue&#39;s endearing, happy-go-lucky video for Foxes&#39; song Amazing follows the singer as she embarks on a road trip to the English seaside&nbsp;with her best mates in an orange&nbsp;Volkswagen hippie van.Plenty of joy and silliness ensues, some of which they capture via camcorder,&nbsp;even after the van breaks down and the girls have to abandon ship, to find their way to their caravan on foot.Shot&nbsp;in London and Bognor Regis, eventually the girls walk into a large pub with all eyes on them, before they deciding to go up on stage and&nbsp;make a night of it.

Sally Sibbet&#39;s Minger&nbsp;promo for Darq E Freaker is as gory as it is gruesome. Set in a London estate stripper-bait work to turn their latest victim into their new ruler.An interesting transformation with plenty of blood and emotional lighting along the way works very well with Darq&#39;s old school techno.

It&#39;s a decidely eery evening down at the&nbsp;launderette, where the various characters are possessed by&nbsp;the voice of Cloud Boat singer Tom Clark, as a way of sourcing affection from one another,&nbsp;in Chris Toumazou&#39;s video for the band&#39;s song Carmine.There&#39;s something of the old-school nouvelle vague surrealism about this - like Last Year At Marienbad meets My Beautiful Laundrette...
