Dorota Masłowska – Mister D. x Anja Rubik – Chleb + Mister D. – Haj$ (Poland, 2014)
Music videos created by Krzysztof Skonieczny / głębokiOFF 4 minutes 37 seconds + 3 minutes 13 seconds | Segal Theatre (70 seats)
Polish with English subtitles
Mister D. is the stage name for Dorota Masłowska. She has recently released her debut album Społeczeństwo Jest Niemiłe (The Society Is Not Very Nice) which has immediately become a major talking point in the Polish media.
Chleb (Bread) is an abstract music video inspired by 1990s TV aesthetics and video games, featuring world-renowned super model Anna Rubik. A kaleidoscope of psychedelic scenes portrays the life of a Polish neighborhood, revealing a grand love story with a bread making machine in the background.
The song Hajs, in which Mister D demands a money sandwich in a shrill voice, was illustrated with a music video inspired by 90’s style. Produced using conventions from video games, it presents characters from rap videos passing through the style of a Polish housing project. This video is to promote Hardkor Disko, a film by Krzysztof Skonieczny.

Masłowska follows many generations of Poles who have taken it upon themselves to explore Polish identity.

Half Straddle/Tina Satter – Secret Notebooks: Half Straddle Rap + Free the Skull: Music Video for Moon Duo (US, 2012/2015) 3 minutes 44 seconds + 3 minutes 57 seconds| Segal Theatre (70 seats)
English
Secret Notebooks: With a few months off one summer, and amazing collaborators, Half Straddle set out to make their first-ever rap song and video. Playing off the idioms of the genre, Half Straddle’s girl rappers drop push-ups with no knees, late nights with Soledad O’Brien, and references to their bangs as a knowingly ridiculous vocabulary for throwing shade, all set in a lusciously drenched visual realm and accompanied by deep beats.
Free the Skull: Sanae Yamada of the band Moon Duo commissioned Half Straddle to make this video. Tina was inspired by the sort of noir detective sound she heard in the song and an instinct to filter this sensibility through the dreamscape of young girl detectives who could serve as portals to an unexpected idea of what “freeing the
skull” could mean. Moon Duo’s sound can feel excitingly hard, as well as dreamy and ritualistic and the girls bowing down to this alien force seemed a natural narrative to reflect that.
