Inhale interconnects domains that you are interested in, so that you will know all the events, places, galleries, studios that are a must-see. We have a 360 degree overview on art and culture and a passion to share.
This week’s video selection features some of the best music videos of this year and some other unknown gems.
Starting with Jon Hopkins – Open Eye Signal – a story of a skateboarder’s ride, a beautiful video with great cinematography, directed by Aoife McArdle & production from Colonel Blimp.
Another storyline video from Arcade Fire – Afterlife – a touching story of a father and two sons lamenting the loss of their mother/wife. Directed by Emily Kai Bock
Then we have Rhye with Open – a love story video, a cute couple hanging out, having fun, a video with lots of feelings attached.
Making the list, a brand new Chase & Status video for Alive ft. hard vocals from Jacob Banks. The short film tells the story of a young indian boy who attempts to get back in touch with his roots after a tragedy, beautifully shot on The Blackfeet Indian Reservation, Montana, USA and working perfectly with the track.
On a happier note, Pharrell gives us Happy – a good times, dancing video, written and produced by himself. This is the official 4:07 mins cut, although Pharrell released the video in a 24 hour interactive online version, through his i am OTHER collective effort: iamOTHER
We continue with our favorite “wonder kid” Yoann Lemoine aka Woodkid, featured here with one of the videos from his trilogy – again, self-directed – I love you
Next, another black and white beauty, this time a dark & sensual R&B video about sexual control and romantic submission, from FKA Twigs – Papi Pacify self directed by Twigs & Tom Beard – NSFW
Jumping next to David Bowie’s Love is Lost music video – the Hello Steve Reich Mix by James Murphy for the DFA. A 10 minutes visual madness, mixing geometric 3D visuals with the distorted & glitchy film of a couple making out – NSFW
After a full week, this next music video feels just great – Chris Morphitis Where to Go – directed by Alice Dunseath & Annlin Chao & produced by Blinkink & The Royal College Of Art.
Chris Morphitis – Where To Go from Village Green on Vimeo.
I conclude this week’s selection with a Romanian video, from Robin and the Backstabbers, directed by Barna Nemethi & Vlad Fenesan of Griffon & Swans – SPNZRTR
Although the video was released in 2012, I think is one of the best Romanian videos of the last year or so and it deserves to be included on this list with some of the best international releases.
So, there you have it, these are this week’s video choices, enjoy and have a great weekend.
