Musical Date
For the eleventh time already, Sabam for Culture and BSFF are collaborating to organize the Musical Date, aiming to bridge the artistic worlds of film and music.
F,or the 2026 edition, we are inviting Aurélie Muller (Blondy Brownie, TRESOR, River Into Lake) and Jelle Van Giel (Please Tell Me You’re Fine, New Mexico, Apocalypse Nog Niet)!
Five selected projects in development will have the opportunity to meet with renowned composers and a chance to create their own film score with the composers.
As a director/producer you will be able to pitch your scenario and musical concept during one-hour meetings with the composers. Afterwards, both of composers will choose their favorite project, for which they will create an original score.
The winning projects will each be granted a sum of €2,500 for the development of the original music, offered by Sabam for Culture.
Discover below the rules and regulations and the registration form.
