Yàno: Memories

Goce Ilievski | North Macedonia | 2020 | 4 min

Memories is a short animation produced as inspiration of music. The story is shown through varicoloured fluid images with symbolic meanings. The director chose the technique of traditional animation, which enabled him to create smooth movement and unexpected transformations of selected motifs.

Odpoczno: Srebro ryb

Anita Kwiatkowska-Naqvi | Poland | 2020 | 5 min

To portray the captivating life under water, the director chose claymation. Slightly translucent malleable blue material transfers smoothly from the underwater world to the world above the surface, interconnected by matter. In her music video for the Polish avant-folk band, the director was inspired by a Japanese haiku by Matsuo Bashō.

Matej Mihályi | Slovakia | 2021 | 4 min

The young Slovak director made this music video for a rapper known as Prezident Lourajder, who usually performs in his typical mask. In the clip we follow our masked hero as he wanders around his mansion. What does it mean to be truly isolated?

Blüte

Raito Low | Taiwan, Malaysia | 2020 | 5 min

It explores the perspective of a teenager as she experiences the tremors of love as they colour her teenage heart for the first time. Seeds represent birth and rebirth, as does the journey of love. Every woman has the right to love and be loved, so please be proud of your courage to pursue love!

Fred Cracklin: Boar Drill

Sara Kochanski, Wishbone Zoë | United States | 2020 | 5 min

In Wishbone Zoe’s hand-drawn animated music video for heavy avant-jazz Western MA shredders Fred Cracklin, exploited mine workers make an effort to ‘boar-ganise’. This dramatic music video is characterised by striking colours, boars with drills on their snouts and rugged animation, which is exactly what the song needed.

Ohm Square: Night Flowers

Jan Drozda | Czech Republic | 2020 | 5 min

Jan Drozda, experienced director of many music videos for various Czech bands, made this music video using only the Unreal Engine during the first wave of the Covid pandemic to which he alludes directly as well as indirectly. Apocalyptic timelessness, lethargy and restricted camera movement illustrate the feelings most of us have experienced.

Local Natives: Statues in the Garden (Arras)

Jamie Wolfe | United States | 2020 | 4 min

He wants it all. It’s not enough. It’s raining lemons and the protagonist walks through a magical garden. In her music video for an American indie rock band, the director used her trademark pop-art and psychedelic style, which can also be seen in her commissioned work for Adult Swim and Gucci.

Lion On Tiger: Love Angle

Diego Cumplido | Chile, Scotland | 2020 | 2 min

This is an animated music video for alternative rock band Lion on Tiger, from Scotland. The video is built around a couple with really large plasticine heads having a heated argument in their apartment. The heads were created animating plasticine over black-and-white live-action footage displayed on an analogue TV screen.

Peejay: Seoul Sori

Kyoung-bae Kim | South Korea | 2020 | 4 min

Visuals in this music video that are at times horror-like are in contrast with the calm melodic song by a South Korean musician called Peejay. In the music video, we see a scared boy who is exposed to sudden space transformations. Various symbolic and mythologic characters come to life and it seems that they hold the boy’s life in their hands.

Razumikhin: À la tristesse!

Terezie Unzeitigová | Czech Republic, France | 2020 | 7 min

A trip of a lonely suburban good-for-nothing seeking inner peace among blocks of flats, garages and car parks oscillates between the Zen ecstasy of abandoned subway vestibules and an earthquake. The music video is like a hangover at Stodůlky, somewhere between a hymn and a growl. This black-and-white music video for a French-Czech band was made by a graduate of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague.

Josh Kimbrough: Glowing Treetops

Liang-Hsin Huang | United States, Taiwan | 2020 | 5 min

The music video for Josh Kimbrough’s song ‘Glowing Treetops’ from his latest album Slither, Soar & Disappear was inspired by Wendell Berry's poem Elegy. The melancholy instrumental song is accompanied by appropriately stylised hand-drawn animation portraying falling leaves and the sun being replaced by rain.

Łona i Webber: #nikiforszczecinski

Marek Kowalczyk, Piotr Pauk | Poland | 2020 | 4 min

Łona and Webber present their second single: ‘#nikiforszczecinski’ – a tribute to street art in all its forms. The song tells the story of a street artist from Szczecin who arranged his works from newspaper clippings, plants, candles, bricks and plush rats. The window sill and the gate of the tenement building in which he lived served as his very own exhibition space. The creator of this video – Lump – is one of the most recognisable street art artists in Poland.

Jacob Collier: He Won’t Hold You (feat. Rapsody)

Daniel Bruson | Brazil, United Kingdom | 2020 | 6 min

For the song He Won’t Hold You by multi-Grammy winner Jacob Collier, the Brazilian director animated a series of atmospheric paintings. Just like the song, the music video offers two points of view on dealing with a breakup. Colours appear only at the song’s consensual finale.

Youlï: Szeretni kell

Tímea Laura Varga | Hungary | 2020 | 4 min

This joyfully colourful music video for the singer Youlï was made by a graduate of the well-established Budapest school MOME. Its original and elaborate artistic style is dominated by the singer herself, who was realistically drawn and placed into scenes from everyday life. The scenes may seem dismal at first, but eventually turn out to be optimistic just like the song itself.
