- BSIFF Film-Music Symposium
Music is an integral part of film. Creating film for music (music videos) has also become an integral part of being considered a ‘serious’ musician. Film-Music is a whole film and music business genre that is rarely studied or talked about on the African Continent.
Our film-music symposium will run in July under the theme: “Exploring the Art and Business of Writing & Composing Music for Film, Television and Video Games.”
This event is targeted at filmmakers including established and aspiring film directors, screenwriters, and producers, music composers, sound designers, music producers, songwriters, music lovers, singers and artistes. It will focus on important topics such as preparing and recording a score, the film-music business (how to succeed, contracts and fees, publishing, royalties, copyrights) and much more.
