SUNDAY, SEPT 22
We're back at it again, and this time, in a Major way! Bay Area Rapper UnLearn The World and Hip Hop TV are partnering with the 17th Oakland International Film Festival to present the iWAMs It Was A Movie Music Video Film Festival powered by Gaugr.com

The iWAMs is a one of a kind film screening, talent showcase, and award ceremony event all in one powerful night! We are proud to create an exciting space for emerging Hip Hop talent to get exposure and generate interest in their artistry and brand by screening their latest music videos for a crowd of fans, fellow artists and industry taste makers alike.

Thanks to key partnerships in the worlds of entertainment and tech, What started as The Bay Area Hip Hop Music Video Film Festival back in 2016 has now expanded into a national and international platform, seamlessly blending the worlds of Hip Hop culture, music and film . The evening begins with a red carpet entrance and DJ, then continues with live performances and music video/short film premiers, ultimately culminating in artists and directors being awarded in three categories;

-Captivating Visuals
-Compelling Story and
-Groundbreaking

voted on via the Gaugr.com app by our celebrity “world stage” panel, the live audience and event viewers tuning in via Hip Hop TV live stream. Artists are interviewed briefly before their video plays, then are given feedback and insight from music/film industry movers and shakers.
