IFMW 2024

Part of the Zurich Film Festival

This is my entry for the 12th International Film Music Competition 2024 which took place at Tonhalle Zurich on 5 October 2024 during the 20th Zurich Film Festival. The entrants were asked to write a symphony orchestra score for the 8-minute short film THE FLYING SAILOR by Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby.

Congratulations to the winner, Canadian composer Ahmed Soroko, and the other two finalists, Krzysztof Dobosiewicz and Théo Schmitt. The shortlisted three were chosen in a first round by an international expert jury out of 192 participants from 37 countries.
