OMVF: Music Video Programme
Through our collaboration with Oulu Music Video Festival, we’re happy to screen a selection of finnish music videos curated by Mesak (who is also playing in DRIV this year). It’s happening in Backbeat on Saturday.
“Here´s some very finnish-looking finnish music videos! When I was
asked to make a video selection for the festival I started looking for
videos from the underground (electronic) music section. Soon I noticed
that nearly all of the music videos within in the genre shared very
similar DIY aesthetics. Although musicwise the Jimi Tenor song is rather
soft pop it still has the same cute home made vibes as the more rough
song by Keuhkot. Even the “bigger budget” videos (Acid Kings or
Tähtiportti) have similar primitive approach in their script, filming
and general realization. Finally visually very beautiful work, the
pseudo-animation for Koelse, is ruined with the raw noises – ie the
music.”
