Call for musicians

If selected, you will be one of 6-8 acts and will get to choose one of the international short films from our current festival program that inspires you most (up to 8 minutes long) without hearing the original soundtrack. Then you will have up to 6-8 weeks to compose / create your own soundtrack and perform it live at the Volksbühne on 07 November 2024!

Think you'd like to be part of it or want to find out more?

Then send an email to Aaron Ghantus

Please supply the following information:

› name / band name / artist name
› email address / telephone number
› place of residence
› website / social media link (if applicable)
› photo and / or video

› short description of your project / band

We especially encourage and welcome BIPoC, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those who have faced discrimination to apply.

The closing date for applications is 16 July 2024

FYI:
Although this is a magnificent event in a beautiful historic theatre, we want the ticket prices to remain accessible, so the budget is low and we are currently only able to pay each act a minimal expense and transport allowance. We want to highlight that we, as a festival do not make any profit from this event, and habe not been able to secure extra funding for Sound & Vision (but we’re working on it!). We are however, very excited about the concept and want to continue to offer musicians the opportunity to participate. All participating musician will receive a festival pass with access to all screenings and film undustry events.
