Fourth International Film Music Competition

[PierreFunck]

Hello all,

I'd like to share that detailed information about the 2015 edition of the International Film Music Competition is out! (I'm one of the organisers...)

Participants are invited to score the 6‑minute short film THE CONTROL MASTER by Run Wrake. An expert jury comprising internationally renowned composers and filmmakers will choose a shortlist of five compositions, which will be world-premiered in Zurich on 25 September 2015 by a 40-piece live orchestra (big band with strings).

More details, the terms and conditions, and a download link for the short film to be scored are available at http://www.filmmusiccompetition.ch. The submission deadline is 12 June 2015.

Cheers
Pierre

I got that email last week and forwarded it to the Composition student in the family. I'd like her to fit it into her Masters degree. Told her I'll pay the entrance fee.

I think I am way too busy this year, dang it.

I can't enter as I don't qualify. Not too old now, just too experienced.
