The desperation of watching music videos on Rage at 3am can be an intensely private experience. Waiting for one more good song before you go to bed. Okay, one more after that. Then just one more. So watching quality clips on the big screen with a like-minded audience is healthier all round.
The British Council Australia, in association with ACMI, present Antenna UK 04:showing some of the most promising recent work by British directors ofmusic videos. Featured bands include Badly Drawn Boy, Zero 7, and Death Cab For Cutie’s astonishingly maudlin clip for “I Will Follow You Into The Dark”, where the singer’s bedroom is slowly overwhelmed by a never-growing hole in his floor. Alongside these videos are special guests: Joji Koyama (aka Woof Wan Bau), famed UK animator and director of clips for Coldcut, Mogwai, Four Tet and more; and Alex Maclean, creative director of Airside, creators of visuals for Lemon Jelly and the new Beatles video, as well as installation and design work.
Oh, and just like your precious 3am television, it’s free. RSVP is essential: rsvp@britishcouncil.org.au.
