Launched in 2020, Festiclip was born in La Plata as a grassroots festival dedicated to celebrating the creativity and DIY spirit of Argentina’s independent music video scene. What began as a local initiative quickly evolved into a traveling showcase, bringing together visual and musical storytelling from across the country. With screenings in Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Rosario, and beyond, Festiclip has become a platform for emerging filmmakers and musicians alike.

At the heart of the project is Manuel Sánchez Viamonte, guitarist of the iconic Argentine indie rock band Él Mató a un Policía Motorizado. Known for shaping the sound of a generation, Manuel now extends his artistic vision beyond the stage, highlighting the rich intersection between music and film.

As part of Hay Festival Dallas, Manuel will present a special U.S. edition of Festiclip—a handpicked selection of standout music videos that capture the energy, experimentation, and voices of Argentina’s contemporary indie scene. Whether you’re a music lover, filmmaker, or simply curious about one of Latin America’s most dynamic cultural movements, this is a rare opportunity to discover the stories behind the sound and the screen.
