2Pause: Emerging Danish music video talent. Got tips?

Remco Vlaanderen — Wed, 09 May 2012 15:30:05 +0000

Something in the feta?
Lately we’ve been discovering a lot of very interesting music videos coming from Denmark. So besides Lego, a royal family and Dogme 95, the Danish appear to harbor an incredibly creative and thriving music video scene made up of young and upcoming filmmakers and collectives. Did you notice? Time for a new theme on our music video platform 2Pause dedicated to that dashing Danish talent. And maybe we’ll call it the “Danish Wave.”

Waves they come and go. Ye olde “French Wave,” for instance, has long rolled up on “la plage”. Those free-minded French talents that once placed an indelible mark on the music video scene from the mid 1990s to, say, the early zeros have all moved on to make feature films (Gondry), photography (Sednaoui) or commercials (Alex Courtes). See our old 2Pause 1.0 website for a reminder. For the time being, all that is left of that once magnifique French scene is but a weak undercurrent.

Enough with the wave metaphors.

Send your tips and suggestions
Stay tuned for that new theme as we compile the cream of the Danish crop. And do send your tips, discoveries, directors – all Danish, of course – to remco [adlicious] submarine [dotnot] nl.

The current point in case, freshly added today on 2Pause:
Tore Frandsen directed this supernatural eerie short film to accompany Karin Park’s “Fryngies”
