NARRATIVE MUSIC VIDEOS

Music videos are also short films, and thus a film form it is natural for Minimalen to give some space. Commercially, the music video peeked in the 80s and 90s, in parallel with MTV’s increasingly dominant pop cultural position. Since then, the influence of MTV has dwindled. That does not mean that the music video has disappeared! New generations of musicians and music producers with new forms of distribution and screening channels on the Internet has led to an abundance of films for those who are interested and willing to search.

The music video is not a genre as such, but a type of short films that can contain
just about anything. Dance films, pure cinematic experiments, plays on the
relationship between image and sound, concert recordings. The music video also offers great opportunities for filmmakers who indulge in the narrative realm.

Minimalen is always interested in shorts that cultivate the narrative, and is therefore presenting this selection of recent Norwegian music video narratives.
