La Semaine du Son is pleased to announce a new film scoring competition! Every year, La Semaine du Son selects the best original score created for an excerpt from a silent film. For this next edition, we’ve chosen an abstract and poetic film by Maï Calon, A Silent Sound (2021).
Search your sound archives, imagination and creative spirit to create a surprising new work for the silent version of the film! The ten best entries will be screened at Flagey during La Semaine du Son, followed by an awards ceremony.
Who can enter?
Anyone interested in sound, image and movement; no particular professional experience is required to enter this competition. A jury made up of people with different interests and experience will judge all entries anonymously.
How to enter?
Send an e-mail to lasemaineduson.deweekvandeklank@gmail.com with the subject “Participation concours sonorisation 2024” to receive the film by WeTransfer. The competition rules and entry form can be found here.
The selected scores will be screened during La Semaine du Son 2024 in Brussels, from January 22 to 28, 2024. The winner will receive a €1500 prize offered by the Sabam for Culture. This competition is organized in partnership with the CINEMATEK, Sabam for Culture and Flagey.
