Bug returned to the BFI for it's 59th edition in June, playing host to the weird and wonderful from all over the world. Adam entertained wonderfully over two nights, showing off some mind-boggling craft, exquisite puppetry, outstanding beauty, and ridiculous hilarity. We paid tribute to the 1960s music video pioneer Peter Whitehead, who directed early videos for the Rolling Stones and The Beatles. Also to the prodigies Keith Flint who passed away earlier this year.

Until Next time!

BUG SPECIAL: The American Dream

Sat, 15 Apr 2017 06:49:00 GMT

In a special show in conjunction with the British Museum, in celebration of the exhibition The American Dream: pop to the present, BUG presents an idiosyncratic survey of American music videos – from the late 70s, when bands like Devo and Talking Heads explored the new medium, through the 80s pomp of MTV, when art and commerce collided in big budget videos by David Fincher, Spike Jonze and Hype Williams, to the YouTube generation, when creativity went viral in the hands of OK Go and others.

Adam Buxton guides us through with fun facts and laughs in equal measure during this whistlestop tour through a different form of American pop art.

Friday 21 April 2017 - 19.00

Friday 12 May 2017 - 19.00

BUG 52, we had one of the finest British directors working in music videos today as our special guest. Ninian Doff started five or so years ago with charming no-budget music videos fired by ingenious homemade VFX.

Now he is working with major artists like The Chemical Brothers and Run the Jewels, and this year has made a video for Miike Snow that inspired a surprising online following, and has now prompted a sequel. Ninian took us through his work and chats with Adam Buxton.
