:: GIVE THE FINGER TO WINTER! - Director Lars Schuy - 4 mins ::
On Saturday night, September 20th 2003, Brighton's Laptop Jams raised
a collective digit(al) to winter with the world's
first Wi-Fi Beach Jam. Webcast live to the world
from Brighton beach, it used the unique Pier2pier.net
wireless network to unleash the output of six synched
laptops on an unsuspecting internet. To the uninitiated,
Laptop-Jams might sound like a sticky residue found
on a businessman's trousers after a visit to Spearmint
Rhino, but in fact they sound more like eeeeeeeeoooowwww!
whump! whump! dogger! dogger! scccccrrrreeeeekow!
doompf!!! Well, that's what their Press Release
says. The last bit was German, by the way.
This fascinating film captures the excitement and weirdness of the event and poses the ultimate question: are they Geek or Chic? It also features a great soundtrack of original ambient funk and some stunning laptop-driven images.

:: BORDER CROSSING (Directors Cut) - Director Mark Jay - 4 mins::
Brighton director Mark Jay
has re-edited his latest MV specially for Final
Cut which now includes previously unseen material.
The video features West London Hip Hop outfit, Border Crossing, with guest artist JEHST on MC duties. Filmed in a West London boxing gym, Alias has a distinctly Raging Bull feel with burlesque card-girls and a gangsta contingent. It also features Chris Eubank’s twin brothers, Peter and Simon, as robot boxers in a Robot Wars-style game played by band members. The single was released last month.

:: TRANSCENDIA - Director: Daniel Williams - 11 mins ::
Transcendia is a journey into and beyond India, supporting the music of Temple Hedz (Brighton-based
producer, Paul Savery), a hot new name in global
and electronic music. This extended MV is a fascinating
montage of images comparing the urban and natural
worlds that was shot in London, Brighton and India.
It also includes footage of this year's anti-Iraq
war march.
