Music Videos get their due at this year's Los Angeles Film Festival, with two programs highlighting creative new works and another program celebrating noted production companies Satellite Films/Propaganda Films.
The new video showcases Eclectic Mix 1 & 2 largely focuses on indie and alternative rock, including directors such as Patrick Daughters, Adam Neustadter and Nabil. Featured recording artists include MGMT, Royksopp, Kanye West, Bjork and many others.
The real highlight, though, is an inspired look back at influential production companies Satellite Films and Propaganda. Where It Was At: A Propaganda & Satellite Films Tribute salutes these now shuttered companies which played a huge role in establishing the creative possibilities of music videos. Propaganda/Satllite directors featured in the program include Spike Jonze, Mark Romanek, David Fincher, Stephane Sednaoui, Nigel Dick, Jonathan Glazer and others.
Full program lists are after the jump. The LA Film Fest runs June 12 28. Passes go on sale May 18, individual tickets on May 29. Click for pass/ticket info.
