Festival International Music & Cinema Marseille

ongoing

Dedicated to the promotion of the young cinematographic creation and the sound and music creation for film, the Festival International MUSIC & CINEMA MARSEILLE (MCM) offers a unique editorial line in Europe. It’s arts policy is based on four complementary and interrelated actions: to support the international dissemination of first, second and third films, to offer a training place, to promote cultural diversity and to be a place for film education. Thus, the Festival promotes the emergence of young international talents through the dissemination of quality works (films) representative of the experimental fields in tone, form and purpose, while seeking to bring these works accessible to all. As a place of training for young composers, directors and script writers, the Festival also aims to offer young international talents, a workspace that allows them the possibility to deploy all their creativity (Masterclasses of composition for image, European Market for film music composition, grant of help to music composition, grant for the direction of a first film…). The Festival highlights the cultural diversity by creating a space for dialogue through an international programming, it offers to the public (+ 28 000 spectators) and the artists a cinema where the languages and practices are different, meaningful and constructive. For the younger, the Festival offers an educational program in the form of projections adapted according to age range and offering a variety of workshops. The MCM is a platform for international artists of image and sound that centralizes creative energies to permanently establish an essential place of creation for the professionals. The MCM strengthens every year its actions in order to provide an innovative cultural project in perpetual renewal and meet the needs of European and international artists as well as the public.
