Louis-Jack directs a breathtaking promo for French band EMPRS (or Empereurs). The video for The Void is a stirring amalgam of performance and movement, anchored by a surrealistic, otherworldly dance piece, performed by dancer Emma Belabed. She's moving within what seems like a long corridor and has the ability to float.The performance unravels in an enigmatic fashion - the camera actually looking upwards at Belabed, who is suspended on wires, on the inside of a tower - before the dance breaks out into a gravity-defying feat on the exterior of the tower. A bold and noteworthy introduction to EMPRS, with a strong concept at its core.
