“Music video is a perfectly formed contemporary moving image form. Quintessentially based on reinvention, remaining, never standing still. Always looking different Being in flux. Moving. The frame can’t freeze.”
Reinventing Music Video explores the new generation of music video directors—those who stand at the crossroads between the commercial and the experimental; those who offer us a glimpse of filmmaking future.
Highly acclaimed film futurist Matt Hanson offers an invigorating visual cocktail of stills, original treatments and previously unpublished storyboards from the best contemporary videos, from the most exciting international artists, representing a myriad of groundbreaking styles and techniques. This is combined with incisive original interviews, on-set anecdotes and methods of production.
