It traces the process from early writing sessions in Los Angeles to multiple music video shoots and a striking visual identity.

Music videos premiering on the lineup include: Kim Yang - Forever This Way (Dir. Sean O’Gorman), smartcasual - Give (Dir. Josh Fogarty), ND’A - Fugazi (Dir. ND’A) and more to be announce shortly!

CLIPPED Founder and Moderator: Samuel Bright
Samuel Bright is a director, producer & event curator from Sydney, with a background creating music videos, live concerts, documentaries, and short-form work.

Samuel’s passion for Music Videos as a recognised art-form, and the lack of artistic opportunities in Australia, led him to develop CLIPPED Music Video Festival as part of Vivid Sydney in 2016. It's the only event of this kind in Australia, featuring a music video exhibition, awards, screenings, premieres and discussion panels. Notable speakers to-date have included the likes of Sarah Blasko, Megan Washington, Shane Drake (USA), Sing J Lee (USA), Sylvia Zakhary (USA), Nash Edgerton, David Wilson (UK), Jesse Kanda (UK), Nigel Dick (USA) & Warren Fu (USA).

CLIPPED Music Video Festival fosters community and provides a platform for artists, filmmakers and musicians, while incentivising the creative process with prizes and by showcasing emerging talent.
