and& summit and festival is set to make its debut this year.
The new Belgian event will stage its inaugural edition at Leuven, Belgium, on 2-5 May, and we’re excited to reveal that they’ll be hosting a conversation with Crack Magazine and award-winning director Oscar Hudson, who’s created deeply compelling music videos for Radiohead, Young Thug, Bonobo and more. Furthermore, the young creative’s enthralling works will be showcased at the event’s A/V screening room.
Last year, Hudson ranked highly on our list of The Top 15 Videos of 2017, featured in two spots for his disorientating visual for Young Thug and his eerie, breathtaking video for Radiohead’s Lift. Last year, the young creative was awarded the Best Director award at the UK Music Video Awards.
Other speakers on the programme include NY-based designer and storyteller Stefan Sagmeister and Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro. Extending beyond film, the festival will launch its first instalment with sets from Bicep, Laurel Halo, Jlin, Legowelt and more.
The conversation is set to take place at the International House on 3 May, from 5pm (CEST) to 6pm (CEST). Head to and&’s website for more information, and read up on Crack’s list of 10 Music Video Directors Switching Up the Game.
