The WSA Film Music Days is the annual celebration of music written for the big and small screen worldwide. In the evenings of the WSA Film Music Days, two world class concerts reflect the best the film music industry has to offer. During the day, state of the art Talks & Masterclasses explore how the film music industry operates and faces current changes and challenges.

Besides Composer's Talks with awarded composers like Elliot Goldenthal and Martin Phipps, and panels that deconstruct the state of the film music industry, the WSA presents two new small-scale concepts. During the WSA Workshops composers like Simon Franglen and Jeff Russo get into the studio with a small group, and embark on a unique, musical journey through the creative-technical process that is at the heart of their scores. During the WSA Intimate Conversations a small number of participants is invited to engage with experienced composers like Nainita Desai and Anthony Willis, who share their personal views on the art of film, television and game scoring.
