Festivids recs 2015

Attack the Block
Council Estate (I love this song choice, the way it digs into the themes of the movie)

Empire (TV)
Monster (Lyons ensemble vid, turn up the sound. I like how it uses the structure of the song to build up to Cookie's section at the end.)

Ex Machina
A Song of Innocence and Experience (the contrast between the song and the general horror of the vid is great)
About a Girl (Yes, it uses "My Humps". And it is fucking amazing.)
I Will Be (Gorgeous, sinister, unsettling.)

Flight of the Conchords
Daft Punk is Playing at My House (This makes me miss the show so much.)

Fresh Off the Boat
Family Affair (aka Jessica Huang, HBIC. The song is perfect.)

Galavant
It's Gonna Be Me (Richard/Madalena. Oh honey, it's not. Madalena's faces in this, it's amazing)

Hamilton
Goddamn every single one of these is amazing, and I'm fucking overjoyed.
Bang Bang (show and Lin tribute. I legit cried.)
Comedy Tragedy History (I think this is a sort of #yayhamlet reference? I love the structure of the vid, the way it mixes the stage and external source very specifically.)
Dance Apocalyptic (Beautiful, kinetic.)
Here I Stand (The song is absolutely perfect. Everything about this is impeccable.)
I Gotta Feeling (I cried at this one too. So full of joy and love.)
Independent Women (Schuyler Sisters treat. So great.)
Jefferson Funk (Thomas Jefferson treat to "Uptown Funk". Perfect.)
Lose Yourself (I like how it uses the demo version of the song in this, and it's just perfect.)
Ready Or Not (Perfect song choice, impeccable.)

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell
All That's Left Are Your Bones (gorgeous lady-centric vid)

Jupiter Ascending
One Beattt (not a song choice I would have expected, but it works really well.)
Skyfall (It makes the movie look grander and more serious than it actually is, with the beautiful shots of the environment and spaceships, but then, ROCKET HEELIES.)

Luther
Light 'em Up (John/Alice AND FOB? idk what I did to deserve this vid, but I'll keep on doing it.)

Push
I of the Storm (This gorgeous vid makes me wish people loved this movie more.)

Stardust
A Forest (gorgeous, a little dark and sinister in a way I like)
