Jeremy Johnstone releases the second chapter of a two-part music video for LA outfit Romantic Dividends. Taken from the band's debut album, Giallo, the video is an atmospheric patchwork of abstract vignettes, borrowing heavily from the Italian cinema genre that inspired the album name. Giallo - Italian for yellow - is a genre of murder mystery fiction that often contains slasher, thriller, psychological horror, sexploitation, and, less frequently, supernatural horror elements. Boasting the same experimental, B-movie vibes of the genre itself, Johnstone's video presents snapshots of a narrative with plenty of textural overlays and vibrant colour choices.

Jeremy Johnstone directs a thrilling promo for experimental soul setup Romantic Dividends. The video for Gold In Them Hills follows a gritty narrative which plays out in a mysterious set of vignettes. Tied together with a retrofuturistic, film noir vibe and creative camerawork, the video is an evocative trip which mirrors the highs and lows of a crime drama.

Quentin Deronzier directs an extraordinary promo for The Weeknd, to tie-in with his official track for Avatar: The Way of Water. The cinematic visual was completely shot and post-produced between Thailand and LA, using no footage at all from the James Cameron's record-breaking movie - which makes this even more of an impressive feat. The world of Avatar is brought to life through fascinating cinematography, action-packed vignettes and stunning, effervescent lighting, resulting in environments as otherworldly as those in the film. Completely breathtaking and trippy throughout, it's a beautiful complement to the music.

Marius Gonzalez directs a moving promo for French hip hop artist Josman. The video for Intro is a collection several 'moving-image paintings', that aim to illustrate the emotions described throughout his piece. It's a vivid collaboration between Josman and Gonzalez - who also directed the rapper's video for Un Zder, Un Thé in 2018. Unattached to the lyrics in the traditional sense, the video instead gives free rein to the interpretation and imagination of the viewer.Approached in a minimalistic way, the video echoes the loneliness, isolation and resilience in the track, and visualises these in an abstract way.

Toronto-based director Lucas Hrubizna creates a groundbreaking and bewildering vision of a near-death experience for Sad Night Dynamite, courtesy of cutting-edge 'VolCap' technology, to introduce new release Volume II.Hrubizna has directed an interlinked series of five video shorts that takes the pop-electronic duo's fascination with surreal and psychedelic narrative into amazing new territory. It was made possible by access to the Volumetric Capture facilities at Dimension Studios in London - where SND were filmed performed, and effectively transformed into 3D models.Together with 2D plates of the band performance against greenscreen, Hrubizna could use this material to place them with his created CGI worlds without leaving his home studio. It has taken months of work, but the end-result is mind-boggling, as the approach is to make these worlds as harsh, forbidding, uncomfortable and unpredictable as possible - in accordance with the artists' brief.Each piece is meant to be a mini-fever dream.“SND had imagined a series of pieces taking place within some sort of purgatory - an abstract in-between place where time has dissolved," explains the director. "Having experienced a near-death event, they had seen the visuals of this project somehow reflecting the dreamlike journey from life to the precipice of death and back."I started to think of the ascending levels of Dantés Purgatorio, and loosely re-imagined them as bleak, liminal spaces from the modern world, wherein reality has exploded into harsh, digital fragments."Each piece is meant to be a mini-fever dream that perfectly loops, reflecting the endless sense of time and space in purgatory while also functioning on social media platforms, where looped video playback is standard.”

Tamara Black directs an emotional and powerful promo for Serena Sun's Body. The concept is a visual exploration of processing and overcoming sexual assault, and captures the progression of stages that Serena went through to heal from the experience.These vignettes open with a cold, moon-lit space where remnants of the party are strewn on the floor, and progress through visual interpretations of anger, healing and triumph."When I sat down with my incredible Director and DOP, Tamara Black and Cathy Ye, we talked about how we could intentionally and honestly depict my experience of healing after being sexually assaulted by a friend in university," explains Serena Sun. "After tons of different iterations of how to best tell my story, we landed on visually capturing the different stages I went through after the assault."Through this video, I hope to raise more awareness about sexual assault, as it's still a prevalent problem in our society; with more open and public discussions about sexual assault, we ask our peers to aid SA survivors in our demand for systematic changes."I hope those who are watching this video, and those listening to the song, gain a better understanding of the range of emotions that follow being sexually assaulted and are convicted and embolded to use their voices to enact positive change."
