WSA Talks & Masterclasses

Composing for screen is an often overlooked art, and therefore we strongly believe in networking events for both young and established international film (music) professionals to gain insight into the currents of the industry. The WSA Talks & Masterclasses are the ideal opportunity to be part of inspiring discussions, to meet colleagues in the field and to learn more about the craft of composing.

The programme of the WSA Film Music Days 2025 will be announced at the end of the summer. Dive into last year's programme or (re)watch the Talks & Masterclasses online.
