Our call for music showcases for this 2023 edition of FEST — Music Walk With Me is now open and will close on the 1st of May 2023! It will take place from the 20th to the 25th of June 2023.
During 6 days, we will present a unique program, with all-night-long film and musical entertainment, as well as networking opportunities. The musical program of Music Walk With Me is unique due to its cinematic identity, presenting artists who connect to the two arts, film and music, either through the creation of soundtracks or by working in the two areas or even showing music projects who are looking for collaborators in the film scene.
PROGRAM
Music Walk With Me (MWWM) will showcase approximately 25 musical projects over 6 days in Espinho in a venue with a capacity of 1800 spectators per day.
WHY SHOWCASE AT MWWM?
The event will provide an incredible opportunity for networking between musicians and filmmakers. With a matchmaking platform, these professionals can connect and explore new interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities. Approximately 800 film industry professionals will be in attendance, seeking musicians for developing projects such as music videos and complementary content use.
In turn, musicians will have the opportunity to present their work to prominent film producers and directors, creating a channel for dialogue and partnership. The high networking capacity of this event will allow professionals to establish new connections, expand their network of contacts, and discover new opportunities for their careers.
