We witness our performers navigating moments where conformity is either desired or imposed upon them. Rebellion, devotion, surrender, and escape emerge as visceral responses to this demand.

JUSTICE FT. TAME IMPALA: ONE NIGHT/ALL NIGHT
director: Anton Tammi
France 2024, 3’14”

An epic revelation of Justice’s cover artwork. We enter the interior of the cross in which an organic and illuminated skeleton seems to be alive. Through a futuristic and cinematic aesthetic, the viewer experiences an immersive journey into the depths of this coffin.

CLIPSE, KENDRICK LAMAR, PUSHA T, MALICE: CHAINS & WHIPS
director: Gabriel Moses
director of cinematography: Jake Gabbay
USA 2025, 4’41”

„Chains & Whips” unfolds through a stripped-back yet disorienting aesthetic, where each frame subtly distorts, as if reality itself were bending. Faces merge with structures, bodies dissolve into space – a visual metaphor for the fractured experience of Black American identity. These slow, shifting images speak to a culture shaped by tension, resilience, and redefinition.

CERO ISMAEL: DRIVING ROUND LOOKING FOR UNKNOWN
director: Folkert Verdoorn & Simon Becks
director of cinematography: Douwe Hennink
Netherlands 2025, 4’30”

At the heart of this narrative is the figure of Cero Ismael himself, a monstrous yet tragically human character dragged through these contrasting realms by a pair of toy drones. It’s a striking image – grotesque and absurd, yet deeply emotional – that encapsulates the directors’ exploration of what it means to feel displaced, to search for meaning in unfamiliar territories, and to embrace the discomfort of not belonging.

TOMMY HOLOHAN: SHOW ME THE SKY
director: Will Wightman
director of cinematography: Jack Hamilton
United Kingdom 2024, 3’30”

Drawing on childhood phobia and OCD, the video charts one man’s unravelling after a fly invades his ear, transforming him into a puppet of madness.

BEHEMOTH: THE SHADOW ELITE
director: Maciej Szupica
directors of cinematography: Marcin Łaskawiec / Mateusz Wołoczko
Poland 2025, 4’39”

A dark journey into avant-garde inspirations, reinterpreting the classic approach to black metal aesthetics. Shot in the industrial space of the Gdańsk Shipyard, the video departs from the genre’s typical style, drawing on elements of avant-garde cinema and giving darkness a new dimension.

CORRIDOR: JUMP CUT
director: Winston Hacking
Canada 2024, 3’53”

The video reflects the song’s theme of grappling with the overwhelming influence of technology and feeling adrift in its wake. Using AI to upscale archival footage resulted in a deliberate distortion, symbolizing the potential consequences of our intertwined relationship with it.

OH ALIEN: THE DREAM
director: Clemens Niel
director of cinematography: Christoph Maleh
Austria 2024, 3’29”

The Dream personifies the sentiment of treating ourselves as machines as bodybuilders who rebel against their strict Über-Ichs in a dys-/utopian finale that critiques the self-improvment craze in late stage capitalism.

LITTLE SIMZ: FLOOD
director: Salomon Reinhardt Ligthelm
director of cinematography: Rina Yang
USA 2024, 3’40”

At its heart, it reimagines an archetypal conflict: the matador’s ritualistic dance with death—only here, the bull has been replaced by the ultimate contemporary symbol of power and status—a machine, a vehicle, a muscle car.

ELSA Y ELMAR: ENTRE LAS PIERNAS/BETWEEN THE LEGS
director: Frederick Venet
