3rd Character Project

This project is an initiative originally created by the Aubagne International Film Festival and SACEM. The project aims to enable meetings between emerging composers and duos of directors and producers, when a composer is still to be found for a film project in development. Read more.

The projects are: 'Upsantan' by César Diaz, 'Coureur' by Kenneth Mercken and 'When their fiction became reality' by Bram Cartigny. Check out the descriptions here.

In cooperation with SABAM and Sacem.
