THE WORK OF DIRECTOR JONATHAN GLAZER JONATHAN GLAZER (volume 5) is a music video and commercial icon whose extraordinary work reveals his gift for intense visual ambition. After winning multiple awards for his music videos and commercials, he moved onto feature films and in 2001 released his debut film, SEXY BEAST, starring SIR BEN KINGSLEY and RAY WINSTONE, followed in 2004 by the sublime yet sensational BIRTH starring NICOLE KIDMAN and LAUREN BACALL. His commercials for the likes of STELLA ARTOIS, GUINNESS, LEVIS, BARCLAYS BANK and VOLKSWAGEN have turned adverts into high art perhaps best reflected in his GUINNESS ad SURFER - included on his DVD in a new extended version - being recently voted best ad of all time by the British Public. His music videos which include UNKLE, RADIOHEAD, JAMIROQUAI, BLUR and MASSIVE ATTACK have further showcased his ability to contort reality into baffling and ingenious new perspectives.

THE WORK OF DIRECTOR STÉPHANE SEDNAOUI Parisian STÉPHANE SEDNAOUI (volume 7), now based in New York, has become one of the most internationally renowned photographers and directors since his introduction to the world of fashion by JEAN-PAUL GAULTIER. At age 21, STÉPHANE worked with photographer WILLIAM KLEIN as the casting director and still photographer for his film LA MODE, MODE D'EMPLOI. By age 22 STÉPHANE SEDNAOUI was working full-time as a professional photographer. Since 1985 STÉPHANE has applied his unique photographic style to editorial fashion, celebrity portraiture, advertising print, and photojournalism, becoming one of its most celebrated players. His first major video breakthrough was the MTV award winning music video GIVE IT AWAY for THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS in 1992, perhaps their most defining visual moment as a band. He has since gone on to create classic music videos for the likes of U2, REM, NENEH CHERRY, ALANIS MORRISETTE and BJÖRK to name but a handful, each of which has brought an inspirational visual aesthetic to the song. His DVD features a host of special and exclusive material, including a brand new short film inspired by the song WALK ON THE WILD SIDE and featuring LOU REED (the first time ever for the song), plus new collaborations with BJÖRK and much more.
