Alistair Hendry directs a thrilling promo for Mass Hysteria. The video for Over You follows an eerie looping motorbike chase around suburban london between a dancer and a driver.Captured using thermal imaging cameras, infrared filters and b&w super 8 film stock, the video has a tangible, textural aesthetic, which is punctuated by high contrast landscapes and dizzying grain. An inspired visual, which moves at the same breathless pace of the track, ramping up to truly surreal climax.

Matt Lambert directs a short documentary film for Jimmy Somerville's groundbreaking 80s band Bronski Beat. The 40th anniversary short is a reimagining of enduring LGBTQ+ anthem Why, originally released in 1984. Using personal and archival footage, Lambert crafts a powerful story of resilience, community, and solidarity to pay tribute to those who speak up and put themselves on the line for the sake of love - those on the frontlines often being the most at risk.Using vibrant titles to guide and inform the viewer, the contrast of vintage and contemporary footage reflects the considerable timeline between the original release and today, cementing both the progress and difficulties that are still present. Using textural overlays and graphical elements to transition from vignette to vignette, it's a singular - and important - piece of work, and is absolutely absorbing.“Jimmy wanted to commission me to make a project that spoke to the climate of LGBTQ+ rights today,” explains Lambert. “I ended up exploring archives from past and present, material from my phone and friends — self-shot material from the community — which became a documentary short film. We had access to Bronski Beat's original stems to sculpt the timeless and still timely score to this film.“It was such a dream to look into the past and future with Jimmy,” says Lambert. “This project was born out of an ongoing dialogue about the past and our ongoing responsibilities to protect what we’ve fought so hard for."We are grateful to have the support of Stonewall UK in a final call to action at the end of the film, so viewers have a resource to go to for help, guidance, and more information on LGBTQ+ rights."

Nick Carter and Obaro Ejimiwe - aka Ghostpoet - co-direct a thought-provoking promo for the artist's track Oh Lord!Taken from the twice Mercury Prize-nominated artist's new EP Am I The Change I Wish To See?, the song was inspired by a moment of contemplation about what it would look like to see Black people enjoying themselves in Heaven. And for its part, the video takes the viewer on a communal journey that transcends the conventional depiction of Heaven.Instead of portraying the final destination, it envisions an intermediary space - a spiritual halfway point where the essential inner work required to reach Heaven is carried out. This space encourages viewers to think, connect, forgive, show love, and find self-acceptance- elements we often struggle with in our daily lives.Imbued with an aesthetic inspired by Romanticism-era art, the video is atmospheric and arresting, feeling almost liminal in its presentation. With a heavy focus on art direction and textural, abstract cinematography, it's an absorbing visual that leans into the themes of the concept.

Stewart Baxter extracts a characteristically charismatic performance from Joe Talbot whilst roaming the beautiful landscapes of freezing Iceland in his latest video for IDLES. With Talbot dressed in bright colours and clashing textures, his styling and from-the-hip presence is in complete swerve from the breathtaking locations, captured in Ed Norton and Andy Little's camerawork. The tiny crew get the maximum visual impact from the magnificent natural light and boundless environment - and of course Talbot's performance. An unexpected yet strangely fitting visual. “It’s a song about the beauty of having a kid and understanding how lucky you are to have a kid," shares Talbot. "And there’s a sense of a cycle when you have a child, when you’ve lost a parent and a child."I have a huge sense of gratitude and weight behind being a parent because of what I’ve lost. I’m not saying I’m a better parent, or more connected because of that. But for me, I’m more connected than I would have been, I think, because of what I’ve lost. I’ve learned a sense of just joy from seeing her joy. And I think that’s amazing. And powerful. And I’m very grateful.”
