Festival Internacional de Videoclip Pucho Dorado (1)

Festival start: 01 October 2025      Festival end: 01 October 2025

The PUCHO DORADO 2025 Festival calls for the international video clip competition. We invite musicians, filmmakers, producers, record companies and bands from all over the world to submit their works until June 30, 2025 via the Festhome platform.

This international video clip festival is an international platform that celebrates the creation and dissemination of video clips as an essential artistic expression within the musical universe. Our purpose is to promote the production of audiovisual works that fuse music and image with an authorial vision, promoting the talent of filmmakers, bands and artists from various latitudes.

Through an open call at a local and international level, PUCHO DORADO seeks to consolidate itself as a meeting space for new audiovisual narratives, where the videoclip is recognized as a creative piece with its own identity, capable of expanding the aesthetic, cultural and technological limits of contemporary music.
