For its 26th edition, Music & Cinema Marseille is once again setting up the European Market for Film Music Composition - Third character - a project dedicated to European composers, directors and producers.

ALCIME, the association that organizes the international festival Music & Cinema Marseille, and the SACEM, offer a grant for the composition of an original score for short films. To be eligible for this grant, these short films must be shot, produced or post-produced in Provence-Alps-Côte d’Azur, the Rhône Alps or Auvergne.  

With the support of Sacem, the MCM organizes a Master Class of Musical composition for Cinema every year. Directed by experienced and talented composers, this Master Class allow up to ten young composers and musicians to benefit from a 10-day intensive workshop to revisit the original music of several short films or films extracts. The aim is to work toward a finished work for MCM’s closing ceremony, and perform a public representation of this movie-concert, interpreted by the students.
FOR SCRIPTWRITERS

This year again, the MCM renews the unique feature of the Espace Kiosque. The Espace Kiosque is one of the Festival's flagship events for supporting young filmmakers and encouraging professional encounters. During one day, the Espace Kiosque offers talented screenwriters the opportunity to discuss their projects with producers.

FOR SCRIPTWRITERS AND DIRECTORS

The SiRAR is a grant for directing a first short film and for composing a first original score.
The first prize offers two inseparable grants: the first one, endowed by the city of Aubagne and the Région Sud (Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur), offers a young author-director a grant to help with the directing of their first short film, the other awarded by Méridiens in partnership with the Conservatoire National à Rayonnement Régional Pierre Barbizet, offers a young composer a grant to help with the composition of the original music for the winning film.

FOR DIRECTORS AND PRODUCERS
At the initiative of Meditalents and on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of MCM, the two organizations are partnering to create Co/Lab, a meeting space dedicated to Mediterranean feature films developed in Meditalents' writing workshops: LabMed and Labdoc.
FOR SCRIPTWRITERS
La Résidence du Sud aims to accompany authors in their francophone scenario projects.

International Arrangements

The “InMICS Composers Lab” is an essential component of the master’s and offers students the unique opportunity to participate in a series of intensive masterclasses, workshops and training sessions given by renowned professionals.

The InMICS Composers Lab is organised by and takes place at 3 festivals: Film Fest Gent (Belgium), MUSIC & CINEMA - Festival International du Film à Marseille (France) and the Krakow Film Music Festival (Poland).

The association Alcimé, organizing structure of the Festival, is partner of the Master InMICS (International Master in Composition for Screen).

InMICS is an international master’s degree programme in composition for visual media, created in 2018 by 4 European and Canadian institutions and 4 professional organisations active in the audiovisual sector. This 2-year programme gives students the chance to hone their knowledge and skills, share their talents, and develop their own personality and projects within an international and professional environment.

Always willing to help creating production contracts ; the Festival created an internet portal (www.kinoscore.com) dedicated to film music composers. Built as a tool to help composers, producers and directors get in touch, this website allow composers to expose their work, get better visibility, access production companies and meet directors. Kinoscore offers the right tools, adapted to directors’ needs, and the possibility to find the composer who fits their audiovisual project.
