LAB ON MARS
In addition to its core role as a platform for showcasing cinematic works, the Festival provides a collaborative space for industry partners and creators, including directors, screenwriters, and composers. One of the Festival’s fundamental missions is to support artistic creation and training for young artists. We aim to help emerging creators, aiding in their recognition and the development of tangible projects.

EUROPEAN MARKET FOR FILM MUSIC COMPOSITION (THIRD CHARACTER)
The MCM is behind the European Market for Musical Composition (Third character) dedicated to European composers, directors and producers.

MUSICAL COMPOSITION MASTER CLASS
With the support of Sacem, the MCM organizes a Musical composition Master Class every year. Directed by experienced and talented composers, this Master Class allows up to ten young composers and musicians to benefit from a 10-day intensive workshop to revisit the original music of several short films or films extracts.

GRANT FOR THE COMPOSITION OF AN ORIGINAL SCORE FOR A SHORT FILM
Alcimé, the association that organizes the Festival international Music & Cinema Marseille, and the SACEM, offer a grant for the composition of an original score for short films. To be eligible for this grant, these short films must be shot, produced or post-produced in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Rhône-Alpes or Auvergne.

SIRAR
The SiRAR (Site régional d’aide à la réalisation) is a unique scheme designed to support the creation of a first short film and an original film score. It offers two inseparable grants dedicated to the making of a short film, highlighting the creative partnership between two artists: the writer-director and the composer.
