The London International Animation Festival (LIAF) returns for it's 15th edition with their annual collection of the world's best, hottest and most innovative music videos.

Animation is an integral element in many of the best music videos. Producing them also provides a commercially viable way for animators to earn a living and produce work they can be proud of.

Music videos have surged in popularity since the rise of portable screens, and filmmakers are increasingly using them as an experimental form with which to test out their artistic ideas. After the screening join several of the filmmakers featured in this programme as they take to the stage for a lively discussion on this subject. Panel members to be announced.

They will also be announcing the inaugural award for best music video at LIAF 2018 selected from the 20 films screened here.

The Late Night Bizarre screens just after this one at 9pm. You can buy tickets for both screenings for just £13.20.

So, here they are - 20 of the world’s best and most innovative music videos produced in the last 12 months, providing a visual mash-up of styles, techniques and genres.
