Film Fest Gent proudly reveals the selection of film projects and composers for Third Character. Third Character is a film music composition market that gives producers and directors, working on a film project in development, the opportunity to meet a curated selection of composers pitching for their project during the WSA Film Music Days at Film Fest Gent. This year we welcome no less than 22 projects, including 10 feature films.

Composing for screen is an often overlooked art, and therefore we strongly believe in networking events for both young and established international film and film music professionals to gain insight into the currents of the industry. The WSA Film Music Days are three days of film music, masterclasses, talks and more — the ideal opportunity to celebrate the art of film music, be part of inspiring discussions, meet colleagues in the field, and learn more about the craft of composing.
