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. Guiding the conversation will be writer
Fernando A. Flores, acclaimed author, whose own work bridges cultures and artistic forms. Together, they will open a window into one of Latin America’s most dynamic cultural movements—a rare opportunity to discover the stories behind the sound and the screen.
