Creative Partnership Lab
The WSA Creative Partnership Lab invites three young filmmakers and three young composers for screen to discover the programme of the WSA Film Music Days together and immerse themselves in the world of film music. With this lab we strive to bring the worlds of filmmakers and composers closer together and to facilitate better communication between the two. By creating a conversation, we focus on the importance of film music composition in the process of filmmaking and emphasise the importance of the collaboration between a filmmaker and the composer. The purpose of the lab is that participants attend the WSA Film Music Days together.
The selected candidates will have access to the WSA Film Music Days, Film Fest Gent’s music events (masterclasses, panels, composer talks, networking events and concerts) where they will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the field of film and film music. Each candidate will receive a festival accreditation which grants access to all the festival’s film screenings.
The participating composers are the nominees of the WSA Film Music Composition Contest. Filmmakers can apply until September 1st.
Film Fest Gent offers the selected candidates:
- Access to the unique film music programme, with concerts, talks and masterclasses.
- Participation in the networking activities such as the WSA Nominees Reception.
- Accreditation for the festival (from 7 October).
- Overnight stay and breakfast in the historic centre of Gent, October 14-17 2025.
- Participants must arrange their own travel to the festival and are responsible for most meals and other possible costs.
