The first annual Los Angeles Music Video Festival will take place Sunday, January 23rd at the cinematic and beautiful Downtown Independent Theater.
The festival director Sami Kriegstein explains, "The Los Angeles Music Video Festival will exist with one purpose: to celebrate the art of the music video. While many film festivals have music video categories, they tend to be presented as secondary, somehow less important or deserving of our consideration than other genres. There are precious few festivals in the world that focus exclusively on music videos, the people who make them and the people who love them. LAMVF will not only provide that opportunity, but will further bring together the independent music and independent film communities of Los Angeles in a celebration of local musical talent and creativity like never before." Tickets for the festival are a reasonable $40 and can be purchased online here, on the festival’s website.
The fun and debaucheries will take place during the afterparty at Echoplex, beginning at 8pm. Setting the stage on fire will be two of our favorite local acts, Voxhaul Broadcast and Black Apples(who currently have our album of the month banner with their self-titled debut). Tickets are $10 and can be purchased here.
This is going to be a fun event with local artists, musicians, and music lovers like yourself…so get your tickets now and be a part of music history in the making!
