Clicking printhead - filament stuck?

a 3D printing noob here:
I assembled my mk3 kit and did some test prints which turned out great.
The last three prints I did however failed completely.

The prints fail whenever my printhead starts making a clicking noise, and not enough material is being extruded.
I clipped the filament and noticed the filament 'pops up' again and again. I made a short clip of it (first ten seconds it's a bit blurry):

Do you have a partial clog or just the filament extruder kicks & clicks? I do not see a link to your clip.
