Music videos
The album is accompanied by a collaboration between film director Heinz Emigholz and Kreidler, with Emigholz contributing clips to all the songs on Den. The videos contain alternate song versions, most remarkable "Rote Wüste", where the video, at 21:12, runs nearly three times longer than the album version.
The readers of German magazine Spex voted "Rote Wüste" as favorite video No. 7 in the top ten for 2012. "Moth Race" won the 15th MuVi Award for "Best German Music Video" at the 59th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen in May 2013. The production company Filmgalerie 451 lists "Sun", "Rote Wüste" and "Moth Race" as trailers for Heinz Emigholz' film The Airstrip - Decampment of Modernism.
