Title: Madness Costs Nothing
Runtime: 4 min
Country: Ireland
Director: Julius Kloepping
Placement: Best Music Video
Competition: June, 2026
Synopsis: “Madness Costs Nothing” is a music video for Chase Nova Band about greed and what it does to the people on the wrong end of it. A powerful figure gorges himself on artists’ pleasure while tossing them scraps, making them fight over whatever he drops on the floor. Eventually, they’ve had enough. They take him, cut him open, and take back what was always theirs. Messy, bloody, and probably deserved.
