Saturday night at the 4th Annual Protoclip, independent music video festival, the Jury announced the Palmares or awards for best music videos. The event took place in Sèvres, a southwestern suburb of Paris, France.

“The good thing about being a director is that you’re in the back seat, and you can observe,” he told Flux in a rare talkative moment. “You’re not in the light.” Well, metaphorically speaking, at least. We caught up with Gavras at the Los Angeles screening of his latest project, Justice: A Cross The Universe.

[ 22 Oct 2008; 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm. ] Family will host the launch of Michel Gondry’s new books You’ll Like this Film Because You’re in It and the comic book We Won the War but Not the Battle.

[ 15 Nov 2008 to 16 Nov 2008. ] Protoclip, one of the world’s only festival dedicated to celebrating the art of music video, returns for its fourth edition to Sevres, a neighboring city of Paris.

This new feature of Flux takes a look behind the scenes of the making of a music video – from script to screen. This time we look at the making of Adele’s Chasing Pavements, directed by Mathew Cullen, co-founder of Motion Theory.

Our new feature series, Anatomy of a Music Video, takes you behind-the-scenes for a look at the making of a music video – from script to screen. Our first spotlight is on Yeasayer’s Wait for the Summer, directed by Mixtape Club.

Thank you to the hundreds and hundreds of you who came out to the first ever Flux Screening at the Hammer Museum…

There’s nothing more disorienting than turning on the TV in your hotel room and wondering if there’s something wrong with the sound button on the remote.

I love when things come together unexpectedly especially when you least expect it. Three weeks ago I approached one of my favorite filmmakers, Mathew Cullen of Motion Theory, because I wanted to do this profile.
