Camp Saint Helene: Protector

Ben Clement | United States | 2020 | 4 min

This music video for Camp Saint Helene, made by Ben Clement, is a remarkable spectacle. The band’s nostalgic sound, reminiscent of‘60s psychedelic rock, was compatible with Clement’s process of animation: a form of non-camera filmmaking, or direct animation, a common method in experimental filmmaking.

Elena Steri: Heavy Rotations

Maren Sosada | Germany | 2020 | 4 min

This melancholy music video in shades of blue is characterised by fluid animation portraying many metamorphoses. After a study stay in Taipei, the director decided to focus on frame-by-frame animation. In her music video for Elena Steri, she uses the method to capture the fragility of the soul, the restlessness of our thoughts and the power of emotions.

World Brain: Dance II (Discovery Zone Cover)

Julian Gallese | Germany, Costa Rica | 2020 | 6 min

A dreamy computer land inhabited by animals that like to party and frequent museums, much like the best of us. This quirky music video for World Brain’s instrumental song shows a world where nothing is the way that we are used to. The author created the world and its inhabitants using an unusual 3D animation style.

The Ribs: I’ll Be Your Toy

Jan Piskač | Czech Republic | 2020 | 4 min

‘The burning love of Bill the cock and Floyd the dog is just like every other romance. I'm really sorry that a bunch of dwarfs in a van seem to have a problem with it,’ says Jan Piskač, a member of The Ribs, who directed this original Western-style music video (a sort of variation on Easy Rider).

Alexander 23: IDK You Yet

Chris Ullens | United Kingdom | 2020 | 4 min

The acclaimed music video director, with experience from many commissioned works, likes to experiment and combine techniques.

Marina Wil: Ya no te extraño

Diego Rotmistrovsky | Argentina | 2020 | 5 min

With a familiar melody, this Argentinian music video takes us to a world animated with a zoopraxiscope. In combination with other animation techniques, the director created an unusual music video using not only fascination with ancient animation devices, but also hand-drawn and stop-motion animation.

Bryan Away: The Lake

Qianwen Yu | United States | 2020 | 5 min

In this poetic music video, the Chinese director decided to portray the miracle of water, which circulates in nature just like blood circulates in our bodies. This music video, set in a fantastic world, makes sporadic use of colours but definitely not imagination.

Jo Goes Hunting: Careful

Alice Saey | France, Netherlands | 2020 | 4 min

On the borderless map of a magical planet, little beings pick, brush, weave, fish and collect elements from their natural environment to sustain their lives as a group. In this original music video, a surreal landscape transforms into other, no less remarkable images which the viewers are soon unable to follow.

Kai: A Little Too Much

Martina Scarpelli | United States | 2020 | 4 min

The director of the festival favourite short film Egg recently decided to make a music video in her trademark black-and-white style. She stayed loyal to the theme of her successful film and once again focused on the emotions connected to perceiving one’s (female) body, but this time in an imaginative universe.

I’ll Always

Sabine Groschup | Austria | 2020 | 5 min

I’ll always is a sensual story about love, passion, assurance and animated, written and sung promises drawn on an incredible 2,889 envelopes. The music video is full of metamorphoses and the author used the demanding technique of total animation to animate transitions between environments and between the abstract and the concrete.

Photay: Villain

Sarina Nihei | United States | 2021 | 4 min

In this original music video by a renowned director, we see a girl wandering around a mystical world with strange creatures. The director is known for her unmistakeable artistic style which, in combination with her sense for absurd situations, contributes to the success of her short films. She drew and coloured the music video by hand.

François Poitou: Le Silence de la rue

Marie Opron | France | 2020 | 4 min

This music video was created for François Poitou’s latest album, titled Le Sec et la Lune. It depicts the dreariness of large housing estates, feelings of loneliness, alienation and anonymity in overpopulated cities and the desire to return to nature and find harmony and simplicity. The melancholy atmosphere of the clip is underscored by black-and-white animation.

Tulipomania: Gone

Cheryl Gelover, Tom Murray | United States | 2020 | 3 min

When money talks, who is listening? A torrent of tattered animated objects and shredded collage excavates the headlines as the death knell sounds for the status quo in this mournful dirge.

The animation was created frame by frame and includes stop-motion objects as well as collages on thousands of individual sheets of black paper.

Hearsh: Voiceless

Maciek Stępniewski | Poland | 2020 | 3 min

This slightly disturbing music video was made by a director with a penchant for non-narrative and experimental projects. His music video takes us to a dark place where many objects of everyday use as well as works of art sink into darkness. And it seems there is no way back.

Hiob Dylan: Dziewczyna z filmu porno

Janek Koza | Poland | 2020 | 5 min

This music video by an experienced Polish filmmaker, author of many animated films, is based on a legend about a girl who starred in a famous porn movie. His simple style and drawings animated on recycled paper perfectly match the theme of the joyless story.
