WHAT IS NORDIC FILM MUSIC DAYS AND HARPA NORDIC FILM COMPOSERS AWARD?
Since 2009 the Nordic film composers from the five Nordic countries have met twice a year. As part of the strategy to put more attention to Nordic Film Music the HARPA Nordic Film Composers Award was created. Each of the Nordic countries has been given a free hand to develop an individual profile, collaborative partners and arena for the award ceremony. From 2010 through 2014 the price was handed out in each of the Nordic countries in conjunction with a local film festival. By meeting at NFMD, the film- and mediacomposers are also exchanging ideas, and thereby strengthening the awareness of the working situation of the film- and media-composers in each country.
