​

FAQ
WHEN WILL CINEMA SOUNDEX RUN?
We are running Cinema SoundEX in September to October 2023. It will run once a year.
IS THERE A FEE FOR TAKING PART?
There will be a small fee to cover administrative costs.
ARE THERE PRIZES?
Each participant will receive a digital certificate, and their work will be showcased on our channels. The best film (where the music and film work the best together) will receive a digital laurel. This project aims to create portfolio content and connect collaborators; there is no financial award currently.
CAN I TAKE PART AS A COMPOSER AND A FILMMAKER?
Yes. That means you will create both a 60-second silent film and a separate 60-second composition, and then will have to create another 60-second film and another soundtrack. You will have the same deadlines as other participants.
CAN YOU BUILD A SOUNDSCAPE INSTEAD OF WRITE MUSIC?
Yes, you can create a full sound design rather than compose a musical soundtrack.
