Application for Screening Event at Soundtrack_Cologne 22 AcadeMeet 2025
Project Description:
IMMSANE is hosting a screening event as part of AcadeMeet at Soundtrack_Cologne 22 (8th - 11th July 2025) and is seeking 10 short films scored by students members IMMSANE (institutional and individual) to be screened at a moderated event during the festival on 9th July 2025. The event will provide an opportunity to showcase the film music talent of student IMMSANE members, and is part of larger events designed at this year's Soundtrack_Cologne student-oriented AcadeMeet/IMMSANE partnership events, including matchmaking events, this screening event, an IMMSANE café, the IMMSANE Europe regional assembly, and other AcadeMeet events.
The event is limited to 10 short films, each between 3 - 10 minutes in length. Participant students must attend the screening in person, as there is an introduction and Q&A during the event, and any expenses for participation at Soundtrack_Cologne are not covered.
What we’re looking for:
We are looking for a short films that will create a diverse programme of IMMSANE student talent. The length of each submission should not exceed 10 minutes, if possible, but it is possible to submit a slightly longer film for consideration if there is space in the programme. The films chosen for the programme will be selected based on quality of scoring, quality of the complete film/scoring, balance between IMMSANE member institutions/individuals, diversity of programming, and appropriateness to the event. The event is moderated by IMMSANE Director Dr. Yati Durant.
Each IMMSANE institution may submit a maximum of three films, by three different student composers, for consideration. Each individual IMMSANE member may submit only one film for consideration. All applicants must have an active IMMSANE Blackboard profile for verification purposes. Applications are made for each film submission in the application form below. The deadline for submissions is until 3rd June 2025.
The films should be cleared by the producers/directors for screening at the festival ahead of submission, and a high-quality screener format must be provided at least one month before the event.
We encourage professors of IMMSANE institutions to nominate student films, and to enable participation at the event, as these event aim to provide high-quality exposure for IMMSANE member students, especially those nearing graduation.
