Synopsis:
The visualizer for Do The Dial Tone enhances the music by narrating an adventurous tale of an alien exploring Earth at midnight.

Bryan Away: The Lake
2020 16+ 5 min
by Qianwen Yu
Lake is liquid, inanimate, emotionless. Like blood flowing through a body, the water circulates and sustains, bringing life to its surroundings. In this video, life is continuously reborn through the raindrops, through the terrain and into the air. The beauty of this process is juxtaposed with the songwriter’s perspective, someone who is detached and yearning to feel the full breadth of human emotion.

by Alice Saey
People should be happy. Even this Egyptian goose, who tries to cast a spell on us with a seductive dance. Its gracious and clumsy movements captivate us. But it’s not the only one to master the dance.

by IRINA RUBINA
Star people strolling trough 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…

CI3: Obzor
2021 16+ 4 min
by Alexandra Májová, Martin Máj
A poetic video clip from the workshop of the Máj author pair introduces us to an imaginary landscape in which, with the help of simple symbolism, we follow the problematic relationship between a man and a woman. The graphic aesthetic is dominated by the motif of the hands that the heroes manipulate against the background of the themed horizon.

The music video for the song “Snow” by the Berlin based techno group FJAAK tells the story of a character following an inner calling. He meets his companion and she takes him on a spiritual journey of partnership, love, pain, destruction, growth and rebirth. Through this journey we experience a fragmented narrative shaped by surreal sceneries and anthropomorphic transformations.
