Open Call NFF Script & Score

This activity has already taken place.

Buma Music in Motion and the Netherlands Film Festival (NFF) are committed to ensure more and deeper connections between young filmmakers and the music sector. One of the initiatives that supports this commitment is NFF Script & Score. The core idea of this program is that young filmmakers and composers get acquainted with each other and their work. Composers are asked to write music based on screenplays in development and present themselves and their work to filmmakers. These meet-ups between creative talents should lead to future collaborations and enrich the Netherlands’ thriving and innovative audiovisual industries. Please find the criteria for this open call below.
