So, we’ve finished with our second MUSEEK festival!

We were really glad to see such a crowd to share with us all the best music videos this year. We’ve managed to screen and you to see around 90 stunning works competing for the awards, a selection of up-and coming directors and bands in «Halflight» section, Tequilajazzz retrospective and all wort hseeing Finnish music videos hand picked by Max Hagen.

All these days the jury and the audience were brainstorming — whom to award? — as it was the first year when we’ve decided to make an Audience Award alongside with the Grand-Prix.

Here are the results: the jury chose Morgenrot by Jeff Desom made for FatCat’s Hauschka and the public gave their votes and hearts to Autumn Story by Lucinda Schreiber and Yanni Kronenberg on Firekites’ music.

On December 10th we start touring around the globe. If you are willing to host us — drop us a line. See you all soon!

A retrospective of Michel Gonry’s music video

Simply known as the director whose work makes other directors cry, Michel Gondry sets the standard in everything he does. His groundbreaking videos for artists including The White Stripes, Bjork, The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk, have won him every music video award available, and he is in the Guiness Book of World Records as the director of the commercial that has won the most prizes in the world, including the Grand Prix at Cannes, three silvers at D&AD and the best campaign at BTAA [Levi’s Drugstore]. He has also completed four feature films, Human Nature, the Oscar-winning Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and the recently completed The Science of Sleep and Be Kind Rewind.
