Sheffield Film Festival: Music Video Preservation Society
Sheffield Film Festival: Music Video Preservation Society
Description
It's one of the most distinct and dynamic creative forms of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, where many important filmmakers found their feet. Now a big-screen celebration of the music video comes to Showroom Cinema for the first time.
Music Video Preservation Society highlights the creativity and cultural influence of music videos across the decades, with an eclectic programme of iconic pop promos spanning the 1970s to the 2020s.
Host David Knight, the country's foremost music video commentator, provides background and context to a selection celebrating the British pioneers of the late 70s and early 80s, the MTV-fuelled 90s explosion, and today's social media age. Following sell-out London meetings, there's a special focus on Sheffield's significant contribution to music video history, on both sides of the camera.
Inspiring, informative, joyful and jaw-dropping.
