We Direct Music Videos Vol. 7 – Mark Romanek
Run Time: 120 min. Format: DCP
We Direct Music Videos is thrilled to present Volume 7 of The Directors Series. This time, our guest is the legendary Mark Romanek. We’re extremely lucky to have Mark in attendance for a rare in-person Q+A following the screening. Since the late 1980s, Mark Romanek has been responsible for some of the most influential music videos in the history of the medium. His work for artists like Nine Inch Nails, Fiona Apple, Jay-Z, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Johnny Cash, Beck, and numerous others is timeless and perennially inspiring. He’s the recipient of 20 MTV VMAs and his work also includes the feature films Static, One Hour Photo, and Never Let Me Go. He’s also Volume #4 of the original Palm Pictures’ Director’s Label DVDs. Join us for a program of music videos selected by Mark Romanek alongside a career-spanning discussion.
The Directors Series is a celebration of the artistry of music videos and those who make them. As the music video continues to change and mutate in unknowable directions, we want to take stock of the directors and art we love, presenting hand-picked collections of videos in a format rare to the music video: theatrically, with a live audience, and with the filmmakers on hand to discuss their work.
