In an Australian first, CLIPPED.TV most known for their annual event – CLIPPED Music Video Festival (Vivid Sydney) is pleased to announce the launch of a bi-monthly series screening a carefully curated selection of music videos. Presented by Mountain Goat and supported by 2SER, CLIPPED’s first event features the world premiere of award winning actor & musician Guy Pearce’s new music video for ‘Leaving Home’, directed by Zac Harris.

‘’Leaving Home’ was kind of the first song I wrote for my album THE NOMAD back in 2015. I was in a bit of shock when my marriage ended earlier that year and this song reflects that disbelief. Facing this new reality was strange and difficult and yet I realise it happens to many people all the time. When I spoke with Zac about doing a clip his idea was to incorporate other people’s experiences of losing relationships and treat mine as just a part of the bigger picture. Still for it to remain personal for me but not to have all the focus on me. I really liked Zac’s idea of setting this in a bar where we see a collection of random people having very different but similarly painful experiences. We never really know when we meet someone what’s going on for them personally. We also never know what’s going to appear round the next corner’ says Guy Pearce.

Screening of the music videos will be accompanied by an enlightening ‘In Conversation’ discussion to find out how these unreleased clips were created, including Q+As with a number of the talented filmmakers and artists themselves. Following the screenings is a networking happy hour in the iconic Golden Age Bar with special discounted drinks courtesy of Mountain Goat.  The first event will take place on 19 March and will premiere the music videos from
