The Los Angeles International Music Video Festival - LAMV - is an exciting event that brings together musicians, filmmakers, and fans from all over the world to celebrate the art of music videos. The festival showcase a wide range of music videos from different genres, styles, and cultures, giving audiences a chance to explore and appreciate the diversity of music and visual storytelling.

The main goal of LAMV is to create a platform for independent artists to showcase their work and gain exposure in the industry. This gives artists a chance to have their work seen by a wider audience and to connect with other professionals in the industry.

In addition to screenings, we host a range of other events such as panels, workshops, and special performances. These events provide opportunities for attendees to learn about the creative process behind music videos, network with other professionals in the industry. We value the attendance of our submitters, so the music videos that will be screened are those who will be attending the Festival.

One of the key features for this year is the venue. LAMV are held in interesting location: the Culver Steps at Townplaza in Downtown Culver City, open do the public. This adds to the excitement and atmosphere of the festival, creating a memorable experience for all involved.

Overall, our Festival is a celebration of creativity, diversity, and innovation in the music industry. Whether you're a musician, filmmaker, or music fan, the 4th Los Angeles International Music Video Festival is an event not to be missed.
