UK Music Video Awards. 12th October 2010.

The UK Music Video Awards return to the Odeon West End in London’s Leicester Square on October 12 2010 to celebrate creativity, technical excellence and innovation in music video and moving image for music.

There are a wide range of opportunities for UK individuals and companies to enter their work: from genre-led video categories, to prizes for individuals in the technical and craft areas of the business, to recognition for innovative approaches to music videos, ads and other visuals. There are also awards for international videos and outstanding individuals, voted for by the MVA jury members.
Judging and voting will begin in August, with the final shortlists unveiled in September. If you would like to enter one of the awards, you have until 3rd August to do so.

The MVA’s are organised by two of the key members of the team behind BUG, the BFI Southbank’s highly successful music video strand, and have 20 years’ experience running events in the uk music video business. For more information or to book your ticket, click here to visit the MVA website.

BUG: UNKLE Special. May 2010

This month we’re excited to announce that BUG is joining forces with UNKLE to celebrate the release of their new album ‘Where Did The Night Fall’. Our special BUG: UNKLE show, which will look back over the video careers of these ground-breaking artists, as well as featuring some brand new film work, will take place on Friday May 7th at 8:45pm and will be followed by the BFI Southbank’s own spectacular AV club night, Dark Fibre, featuring a special DJ set by UNKLE’s James Lavelle and Pablo Clements.
Tickets are available now from the BFI Southbank on 020 7928 3232 or via the website.

Event: BUG 19. May 2010

Hurrah – BUG is back! We hear the team had lots of well deserved feedback after the March shows, it’s great to hear that everyone enjoys them so much, the Loco team certainly do!

Happily, BUG is back at the BFI Southbank in May with not 2, but 3 shows, all hosted of course by the fantastic Adam Buxton. A positive smorgasboard of miniature cinematic gems from some of the most talented emerging directors will be on show, and the fun doesn’t stop there, as our resident BUG DJs will be providing aural stimulation in the benugo lounge till late.
For fans of the regular BUG shows, BUG 19 will be on Thursday 20th May at 8:45pm, followed by the Director’s Cut version of the show (basically the same show but without the director interview – geddit?) on 17th May, also at 8:45pm. Tickets for both shows are on sale now at the BFI box office. Book by calling 020 7928 3232 between 11:30am and 8:30pm or click here to book on online.
