Chihiro Sato, Takaaki Numa, E:
Glitter Electron
Japan, 2022. 6 minutes.
A music video for composer E’s song “Glitter electron”, an animation work created by Chihiro Sato, Takaaki Numa and E. This film is a glitter storm of pleasant and strange visual images and electronic sounds on the theme of electricity, which is the driving force of modern civilization. Based on the music produced by E, Chihiro and Takaaki individually created fragmentary short episodes with various electronic motifs.
Aga Jarząb, Maciek Bączyk:
Zen for TV
Poland, 2022. 6 minutes.
Ambient piece ZEN for TV is a nostalgic reminiscence of the times when a TV broadcast could end for the day before our eyes. TV used to finish the transmission a few minutes after midnight. Then the screen turned black and white, filled with noise. With a little bit of imagination, in that noise one could see stone zen gardens, patiently raked by a silent monk. Gazing at the end of the TV programme was some sort of electronic meditation of the late 80s. The animated music video helps to grasp the concept of it.
Guido Devadder, Kaitlin McSweeney:
Hungry Ghost
Belgium, 2022. 7 minutes.
The feelings of both loss and desire are among the first and strongest emotions we experience as human beings. Desire is what keeps us alive, propagates us, but also destroys us. ‘Hungry Ghost’ is a poetic journey into the hazy netherworld of human craving, visualised through looping zoetrope animations.
Sijia Luo:
Be Gone
China, 2022. 4 minutes.
Music animation for the song “Be Gone” by electronicore band KNIVESRAIN. By exploring the possibilities of combining AI-generated content with hand-drawn 2D animation, it tells a story of a mobile phone that experiences the plight of modern people in a serendipitous epiphany, learning what it means to be human between life and death.
Polina Chuykova:
Ocean
(Океан)
Russian Federation, 2022. 4 minutes.
An ocean of events and emotions, reconsideration of the past, acceptance, anger, confusion and gratitude… «Ocean» is the official music video of the band «Mind Cry», created for a minor composition. The abstract visual content shows a number of plots on a common theme and opens a gallery of symbolic images. In the clip there is an implication to the feelings and emotions of a person who is tormented by suffering and emotional upheaval. The character hides them under a mask of stillness, but then explodes like a raging ocean.
Irina Rubina:
Miles Davis - What’s Love Got to Do With It
United States, 2022. 4 minutes.
Star People strolling through the night. Each of them alone, in their own dance, accompanied by shiny flowing waves. Those small sparkling dashes can lead them out of the darkness into surrealistic, mysterious and cheerful scenery, if everything goes right…
