A new brand campaign by Hearts & Minds urges us there is more to come from less – 'less plastics in our oceans, less carbon in our skies and less chemicals on vegetables'.

In the relentless process of being peddled more and yet more, it’s refreshing to see an ad that preaches the virtues of less.

Online grocery retailer Abel & Cole’s new brand campaign, created by Hearts & Minds, urges us there is more to come from less – "less plastics in our oceans, less carbon in our skies and less chemicals on vegetables".

The spot was directed by Jim Gilchrist through Outsider and features an Abel & Cole delivery driver singing a song written specially for the ad. We see the driver, played by Lucas Jones, on his regular delivery route, singing about why choosing less is better for the planet, better for wildlife, and better for the food that we eat too.

The campaign runs from September to mid-October, with TV being supported by radio, social, print and direct mail. The brand will also be running an out-of-home campaign to launch its new meat-free meal kit range, again under the banner of asking consumers to choose less.

The spot was created by Andy George and Nicholas Tasker and produced by Caz Spencer. Media is being handled by The Specialist Works.

Directed by RSA/Black Dog Films Alyssa Boni, the film announces DAZN's acquisition of global rights to broadcast the UEFA Women’s Champions League for the next four seasons, from 2021-25.

At a time when professional women’s sport continues to fight for more exposure, the film celebrates a media partnership that brings visibility like never before to players, Clubs, and the elite competition itself by making all matches available to fans all over the globe.

CIRCA pauses the adverts on Piccadilly Lights for two minutes every day at 20:20 GMT/BST. The experience is also live streamed on CIRCA.ART

Since 1908, when the first Perrier sign was illuminated, Piccadilly Lights has been a glowing symbol of modernity. People didn’t go just to see the adverts, they went to see the biggest, brightest show in town.

In a constant state of flux for over 100 years - from neon tube lighting to Europe's largest 4K screen - Piccadilly Lights has consistently changed and evolved to reflect the modern world.

A crossroad for individual and collective histories, this digital canvas provides the perfect setting for artists to explore the concept of time, by establishing a new meeting point for people to stop, look-up and feel inspired in the heart of London.”

How do deaf people experience electronic music? Dorothy Allen-Pickard and Antoine Marinot explore that question in our latest film.

Electronic music is a multi-sensory experience: what we feel coming out of the speaker stack in a nightclub can be just as profound as what we hear. In this film, we learn about three deaf people's clubbing experiences, which range from transcendental to discriminatory, and witness a deaf musical workshop in which participants manipulate and respond to electronic sounds and frequencies. Richard France, a deaf music producer, talks about losing himself to the beat and the crowd becoming one on the dance floor. Troi Lee speaks of the first time he was refused entry to a club for using sign language in the queue. Helen describes how her cochlear implant inspired the sounds behind some of her electronic tracks.

"We listen to a lot of electronic music, both in and outside of club environments," said Antoine Marinot, who co-directed the film with Dorothy Allen-Pickard. "Because of my partial deafness, and the prospect of losing my hearing completely, I am increasingly aware of issues relating to deafness. The conversations we had while making this film have infinitely expanded our interest in the subject and reframed our conceptual understanding of how we all experience sound, music and vibrations."

A Sonic Pulse was commissioned by Resident Advisor Films in partnership with Open City Documentary Festival: https://opencitylondon.com

Four British-Somali women navigate one of Britain’s most elite institutions: Cambridge University. Their identity is rooted in Somalinimo (‘the essence of being Somali’) and in this love letter to Somali culture, blackness and Islam, they reflect on both belonging and marginalisation. The women discuss conflicts with their parents, the sense of solidarity they have built at Cambridge, and the legacy they are creating for the next generation of British-Somalis. They give new meaning to an old Somali proverb: ‘Clothing that is not yours cannot shelter you from the cold’.
