Overview
The festival's mission is to promote the importance of film music and its composers, as well as film sound, and filmmaking in general. The festival's goals are to originate and encourage discussions, connecting people, advising, and educating young composers and filmmakers, but also other people, through discussion panels, seminars, film market, concerts and media publishing; we tend to start and maintain creative and constructive discussions about that indelible link between film and music.
