Having followed Emily Kai Bock’s career since witnessing her mesmerising promo for Grizzly Bear track Yet Again back in 2012, 2013 sees the talented filmmaker direct one of the biggest music videos of the year with her epic story for Arcade Fire’s Afterlife. As visually stunning, narratively rich and emotionally packed as you’re likely to find a film in this genre, Kai Bock’s film perfectly compliments the ethereal, grandiose sound of the Canadian band’s track, touching on themes of grief and life after death.
