NFF Script & Score

Stadsschouwburg Utrecht — Part of BMIM x NFF 2026
This activity has already taken place.

What happens when a composer responds to your film project with original music? In Script & Score, the closed programme by Buma Music in Motion and the Netherlands Film Festival, filmmakers and composers come together to explore exactly that.

The programme is designed to create meaningful connections between emerging film talent and the music sector. Selected filmmakers share a new film or project in development, after which participating composers create original music demos inspired by those projects. It gives filmmakers the opportunity to hear their ideas in a new way, while composers get the chance to introduce their musical voice to creators developing new stories.

Each year, five composers are selected to take part. During the programme, they meet filmmakers, discuss the creative direction of the projects, and develop music demos based on selected film plans. Script & Score is not about finished results but about discovery, exchange, and the beginning of new creative conversations.
