BALTIC FILM
MUSIC HUB

There are only some brave examples of Baltic film score that stand out, but there are so many talented composers and directors eager to find the right sound of the story! It is only a matter of the right moment and the right place for them to meet. And it is only natural for such a meeting to take place during the RIGA IFF when the capital of Latvia is most crowded with film-makers and various industry representatives. Alongside to the Baltic Film Music Hub public lecture and case studies open to wider audience, the meeting happens as a closed session for a newly-founded network of talents who share their portfolios and aspirations for collaboration in this platform.
