Compilation DVD, released by BFI and Thunderbird in 2018. The set consists of 6 DVD’s. The collection has been put together by a team of researchers in collaboration with a panel of over a hundred directors, producers, cinematographers, editors, choreographers, colourists and video commissioners from the business. Each video has been selected because it represents a landmark in music video history – a new genre, film technique, post-production method, distribution channel, or other landmark.
