NOVEMBER SELECTED MUSIC VIDEOS WINNERS
“Perfect” - Simon Meyer - Germany- 2025 - 1 min - AWARDS: Best Use of AI in Visual Creation
What should we expect of others?
At only 38 seconds, Perfect ends far too soon, and that’s its charm. The sound is fresh and original, the visuals stylish and clean. Every element (movement, lip sync, and mood) aligns beautifully, creating an unexpectedly full emotional experience in such a short span.
Technically it’s impressive, emotionally it’s open-ended, the story becomes whatever the viewer brings to it. The shortest song, yet one of the biggest feels.
"Unchained Gold" - Junho Her - South Korea - 2025 - 3 min - World Festival Premiere - AWARDS: Best Use of AI in Music Composition, Best Storytelling / Narrative Video
What does it take to break free and live truthfully?
Visually lush and emotionally ambitious, "Unchained Gold" dives straight into the classic battle between dream and duty, wrapped in clouds of gold glitter and pink mist. The story is clear and surprisingly effective, even if the special effects lean a little over-the-top.
"Cold and Dim" - Piero Fragola - Italy - 3 min - World Premiere - AWARDS: Best Music Video, Best Cinematography
What 's the experience when you process ai visuals through 35mm and 16mm experimental film-noir technics?
The noir-inspired visuals are stunning: soft film grain, rich textures, and deliberate imperfections that give it soul. The sound complements it perfectly, understated, moody, and cinematic. Everything feels carefully curated and purposefully restrained, proof that AI and human craftsmanship can coexist beautifully when guided by a clear artistic vision.
"CityLights" - Maëva Jaouen - France - 4 min - AWARDS: Best AI-Human Collab, Best Performance by a Music Artist - AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARDS: Best Music Video
What happens when a world-class voice returns to Tokyo?
It feels like an old-school music video, light, elegant, and quietly nostalgic. Holy Brune’s voice is magical, soft, and soothing, floating effortlessly over Tokyo’s neon haze. The visuals are dreamy and poetic, a loving nod to Japanese animation and city-night wanderings.
"Dancers in Suminagashi" - Joy Purdy - United States - 3 min - AWARDS: Best Experimental, Best Art Direction, Best Choreography
What is the hypnotic dialogue between control and surrender?
An undeniably aesthetic piece, "Dancers in Suminagashi" drips elegance from every frame. The fusion of ballet and marbling is visually stunning, the ink and movement flowing together in a hypnotic dialogue between control and surrender. The orchestral score carries the imagery with poise and sensitivity. Yet in its devotion to beauty, it crosses the line into kitsch. The film worships the female form even as it dissolves it into pattern and water, creating a paradox between reverence and reduction.
