This year, Buma Music in Motion, in collaboration with the Netherlands Film Fund and Frontières, is offering one composer the opportunity to take part in the Frontières Co-Production Market during the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montréal.
Frontières is an international co-production market and networking platform focused on the financing and co-production of genre projects, with a specific focus on collaborations between Europe and North America.
As the selected composer, you will gain access to the co-production market, round tables, conferences, meetings with selected projects and potential future partners, as well as all networking events.
Taking part in Frontières offers composers several valuable opportunities, including:
- access to all project pitches;

- the opportunity to request official meetings with projects that are relevant to your work and interests;
- an invitation to the closing dinner and closing party, offering additional informal networking opportunities.
