The fourth edition of Austin Music Video Festival kicks off tomorrow at Alamo Draft House Cinema Ritz with a performance from Neon Indian, along with their video introduction and premiere. AMVF is a film festival celebrating the best and most innovative music videos from artists around the world. From December 4-8, some of the coolest venues around Austin will host video premieres, live performances, after parties, and workshops, concluding with an awards show and pop up performances at Native Hostel on Saturday.

The five-day festival features themed music video sets at Native Hostel, The North Door, Empire Control Room, and Austin Visitor Center with after parties every night. Opening day at Native Hostel features an interactive video showcase with the premiere of immersive VR videos in 360 headsets.
