15 - 17 Oct, WSA Film Music Days 2024

Dear [fullname,fallback=],

We proudly present the programme of the 2024 Film Music Days (15-17 October), three days packed with intriguing talks, masterclasses and workshops that enlighten the creative process of composers like Elliot Goldenthal and Martin Phipps and explore how the industry faces current changes and challenges.

Hoping to spark new ideas and surprising encounters, the WSA introduces two new, small-scale concepts. During the WSA Workshops composers like Simon Franglen and Natalie Holt get into the studio with a small group, and embark on a unique, musical journey through the creative-technical process that is at the heart of their scores. During the WSA Intimate Conversations a small number of participants are invited to engage with experienced composers like Nainita Desai and Anthony Willis, who share their personal views on the art of film, television and game scoring.
