MWWM 2025: Bridge the gap between Film and Music
20.06.2025

Music Walk With Me is back for a third edition, conceived to showcase music acts from artists eager to collaborate with the film and TV industry or strengthen their existing connections. It will take place during the 21th edition of FEST – New Directors | New Films Festival, between the 21st and 29th of June, in Espinho, Portugal. 

It offers an unparalleled opportunity for filmmakers, producers, music supervisors, and more to access a meticulously curated program of four music showcases during three days of the festival, designed to promote cross-industry collaborations. In this edition, we're presenting a new format, reducing the number of showcases in order to create more opportunities for contact.

Each musical project showcased was carefully selected with a focus on their potential within cinematic storytelling and intent in collaborating with filmmakers, providing a unique pool of talent and resources to tap into. 

Between the 26th and the 28th, a great line-up will show their work in Centro Multimeios Espinho, making your FEST experience unforgettable. You can already find the contact details of all the artists on our website and in the press material we will be distributing during the week of the festival. Don’t miss the opportunity to enrich your musical knowledge and have fun with us! All the accreditations have access to MWWM.
