Encounters: Best of BUG -The Evolution of Music Video

Director
Various
Running Time
120 mins

Inaugurated a decade ago as a bi-monthly celebration of music video creativity at the BFI Southbank, BUG has become something of a pop cultural phenomenon, spawning its own series on Sky Atlantic. Essentially one man – Adam Buxton of The Adam and Joe Show fame – and his laptop, this music and comedy extravaganza frequently attracts some of the top music video directors and musicians.

Now he’s bringing the show to the Colston Hall to launch the 23rd annual Encounters short film and animation festival. As the title suggests, Best of BUG: The Evolution of Music Video comprises the most popular, striking and occasionally surreal videos from recent BUG shows, along with the pick of those comments from the more deranged members of the online community. Advance tickets are available here.
