The 2014 Prism Prize for best music video was awarded to directed Emily Kai Bock last night, for her video for "Afterlife" by Arcade Fire. Prism Prize is an award selected by a jury of over 90 Canadian music and film industry professionals, and it recognizes something there is no shortage of: Canadian music video talent. Emily was on hand to accept the award in person:


In addition to the best music video award, Kheaven Lewandowski's video for "River" by The Belle Game received the Audience Choice Award, and Scott Cudmore and Michael Leblanc accepted the first Arthur Lipsett Award for innovation in music video art.

Sidenote: It just so happens that we've have both Emily Kai Bock and Scott Cudmore/Michael Leblanc on our podcast.
