INTRODUCTION :

The Music Video Underground is a festival 100% focused on Music Videos.
After a first edition in Paris, a vibrant venue for culture, with lots of venues for shows, the International Music Video Underground opens up for a second edition.
We select Music Videos and dance movies from all over the world and we screen it to give young artists both sides of the camera to be noticed for their talents.

OUR MOTO
The International Music Video Underground doesn’t require your music video to be perfect, or signed by a label, or managed by a production company. It requires you did it with all you had and put your heart into it. It requires you tell something with images and music.
Our goal is to screen new talents, people who don’t have the chance to be the son of an important someone, young artists that have to meet audience to grow, creators that want to show what they are capable of
