The First Annual Los Angeles Music Video Festival (LAMVF) took place January 23rd at the Downtown Independent Theater in Los Angeles. To celebrate a communal love of music videos, guests spent the day watching screenings, listening intently to speakers, and participating in discussions.
Out of 200 submissions from directors in over 16 countries, the screenings for student and independent videos resulted in awards being offered to:

The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s played and we listened! They took the main stage the last night at Coachella, calling all of us Zeros, and we took it like champs. Lead Singer Karen O sparkled in a very large-sequined dress. Lookin’ like Chrissy Hind, styled from the closets of Dale Bozzio and Barbarella, Karen confuses me. But I kind of like her Moxie. She has come into her own, and god knows Zero is one of those hits that will be around long after the lights go down. Hey kids…don’t try this at home, people will think you are weird. Check out the full gallery after the jump.
