ABOUT MUSEEK
There are quite a number of music video festivals around the world, but none in Russia... It was so before Tour de Film and Loud Media decided to change such a sad statistics and organize The 1st International Music Video Festival MUSEEK which was held in November 2008 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
"The story began in 2007 when we’ve compiled a music video program with the same
name and showed it to the fellow people of Saint Petersburg. They liked it. So did we. Then we started thinking of making a festival of our own. And here’s the result of our work. MUSEEK is a first ever music video festival in Russia! During a week of festival screenings a crowd of more then 2000 people enjoyed the best music videos from Russia and abroad as well as retrospectives, concerts, highlights from our partners, curated programs, audiovisual performances and much more."
