SOUND On SCREEN Music Film Festival

SOUND ON SCREEN feature- and short subject submissions can be live action or animation, but need to have a musical theme, eg.
a documentary on a band or musical artist (like God Bless Ozzy Osbourne),
a concert film (like Björk - Biophilia Live),
a musical (like The Rocky Horror Picture Show),
instrument-specific movies / documentaries (like African Drum - Beyond The Beat),
movies with a music-driven narrative (like Sound Of Noise),
a tour film (like Ministry: Fix),
movies / documentaries digging into music as a human subject (like The Heart Is A Drum Machine);
a documentary on a specific instrument (like The Whisper Of the Marimba)
a documentary of a specific music genre (Get Thrashed)
it can also be a narrative or documentary subject that is not necessarily music driven, but attached to a musical subject (like the Kurt Cobain death investigation of Soaked In Bleach).
Music videos and long form music clips are also accepted.

Productions submitted will be viewed by the selection panel, and if chosen will be awarded Official Selection status, and screened at the SOUND ON SCREEN Film Festival.
All selections will screen in the on-line chapter of the event with the selection of cinema inclusions up to the discretion of the festival panel and available slots at the cinema venue - these are not guaranteed.
Short Film entries will be compiled into feature length collection(s).
