BUG

The evolution of music video

BUG 08, Thursday 31st July 2008, 8:45pm, BFI Southbank

BUG returns to the BFI Southbank in London on Thursday 31st July for its next instalment with regular host Adam Buxton back in the hot seat. As usual, Adam will be presenting a stimulating selection of the most inventive, inspiring music promos from around the globe, and interviewing a special guest director. Now in its second year, BUG has become an essential forum for aspiring film-makers and fans of music video alike.

BUG with Adam will also be appearing at the Big Chill Festival on Saturday 2nd August, at Eastnor Castle Deer Park out in the Malvern Hills, Herefordshire. More information on this will be announced nearer the time.

BUG sets out to explore the range of creativity, and the new democracy, in music video today - from exciting work in mainstream videos, to off-beam DIY experimentation by 'bedroom' directors made possible by off-the-shelf technology.

The main event will be followed by a party in the BFI Southbank's benugo bar until 1am, so come and hang out a while with us after the show. The regular BUG DJs – the Aphid Twin and uglymowgli – will be conjuring up aural delights just for you! We look forward to seeing you there.

For tickets, call the BFI Southbank Box Office on +44 (0)20 7928 3232 or book online.
