Music Video Competition
Started from 2016, the Music Video Competition introduces official music videos created for artists from Japan and around the world. We have gathered a selection of the most cinematic and innovative works that deliver dramatic narratives, told as if from a short film perspective. It is a jam-packed lineup that showcases a variety of high quality works.

Director : Floris Kaayk & Studio Smack
Floris' work focuses on futuristic visions, fantasies and concepts. It visualizes technological progress, sometimes by showing the benefits, at other times by presenting the negative consequences. Studio Smack produces work that in the first analysis has an autonomous value, but often also responds to developments in society; the so-called Design for Debate.
Artist : De Staat
Music : Witch Doctor
