Brazilians are great at a bunch of things, like throwing nation-wide parties, football, hanging out at the beach. But when it comes to poker, stuff gets way more intense, like in Niall Downing's latest ad for Pokerstars.

Your house party is probably out of control when the guy with the flame-thrower shows up, and your parent's Benz gets driven into, I don't know, the pool. Speaking of which, the first official trailer from Project X, Nima Nourizadeh's debut feature just got released by Warner Bros. If a house isn't on fire by the end of the night, you're at the wrong party.

With over 4,000 frames printed out and then hand-painted, Daniel Brereton's stop-frame music video for Django Django's single ‘Default’ looks something like the result of a semi-chromatic voyage through a photocopier. Or something.

Ladyhawke's new album ’Anxiety’ won't be out until March, so it's a good thing Mustashrik just released this very rock-n-roll album teaser to get everyone ready. A thick wall of sound, mixed with texturally bonkers animation, and you've got yourself one fierce album preview.

The folks at Honda are no strangers to pushing the limits of their craft to create something remarkable and visually striking, and hey, neither are we. Michael Geoghegan's interactive 360º film Off the Grid does just that, exploring the edges of the earth while bringing you along for the ride.

With the brilliantly candid and super cool Azealia Banks '212' video under his belt, we're excited to announce that director Vincent Tsang has joined Partizan. Since the video's release, Azealia has racked up a couple of million views, been ranked #1 on NME's Cool List for 2011 and has generally been the talk of the town. Pretty good for Vincent's first music video, we'd say.

BBGUN's 'Antidote' for Swedish House Mafia is more like an all-out graphically violent assault than a music video, with a heist at some Tokyo strip club that doesn't go exactly according to plan. Like the disclaimer makes clear, the graphic violence and nudity means it's definitely not safe for work, and to be honest, probably not safe for home either. Enjoy.

Now that everyone's properly in the holiday mood, it's time to get completely smashed and try to recite some classic Christmas stories. Better yet, let Jeremy Konner do that for you, in this drunken re-telling of Twas the Night Before Christmas, featuring Ryan Gosling, Jim Carrey and Eva Mendes. It's the funniest thing you'll see this Christmas.

This is that time of year when everyone is out to do a bit of holiday partying, so we've decided to commemorate the occasion with the Partizan Party Monsters. And hey, what better way to welcome newly-signed animation director James Curran than to immediately put him to work with Partizan Darkroom on creating an HTML5-based interactive holiday monster greeting card?

When you take it upon yourself to re-imagine the title sequence of an icon Steven Spielberg film, and happen to do it better than anyone else could hope to, the world tends to take notice. And you definitely know you're on to something special when Mr Spielberg himself comes calling. And that's exactly what James Curran did.
