Oulu Music Video Festival

27.8. – 30.8.2026
Oulu Music Video Festival is a four-day event of music and moving pictures that brings together young and youthful people, both music and film professionals, enthusiasts and consumers on the last warm evenings of the summer.

As part of Oulu’s European Capital of Culture year, the festival will launch a new European Music Video Competition. Submissions for the international competition open at the end of 2025.

The Festival presents hundreds of music videos, movies, documentaries and special screenings. In addition, the authors of the videos express their own views from different perspectives in some of the screenings. The best Finnish music videos and video makers are rewarded at the prestigious Pumpeli Gala.

The festival organizes also live clubs and other music video related activities in local bars.

The artistic director of the festival is Joel Karppanen. The event is produced by the Oulu Music Video Festivals Association.
