THE THIRD CHARACTER OPENS UP TO VIDEO GAMES

Because the MCM wants to open its professional meetings to other creative fields, it is adding video games to the sectors represented in the International Market for Film Music Composition - 3rd Character.

For the first time, the International Market for Film Music Composition of the Festival international Music & Cinema Marseille (MCM) welcomes video game projects. It will take place on April 1 and 2, 2027, during the Festival. Studios and creators can register until December 14, 2026 inclusive, and composers from December 15, 2026 to January 11, 2027 at 11:59 pm.

The programme is built around pairs, each made up of studio directors and creators. During the Market, these pairs meet composers in one-to-one meetings, with a shared goal: finding the person who will write the original music for their audiovisual project, including video games.

Both sides of the table must register, each within their own period. Studios and creators submit their project as a pair until December 14, 2026 inclusive. Composers then take over: their registration opens on December 15, 2026 and closes on January 11, 2027 at 11:59 pm.

For those who already write for video games, or would like to start, it is a chance to talk music face to face with studios looking for their composer, instead of sending a demo and hoping someone listens to it.
