MUSIC FOR CINEMA

The great composers who have made film scores an art form range from Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone to Armando Trovajoli and Nicola Piovani. But new horizons are opening for a rising generation of film composers. Thanks to ACMF, the film composers’ association headed by the composer Pivio (three David di Donatellos and as many Silver Ribbons), music swirls into Giornate degli Autori, for a talk made possible by the support of SIAE.
ACMF, the Association of Film Composers – its members being almost all of the Italian composers active in conceiving music for screen images today – tells its story, which started in 2017. Since its founding, between reworking tradition and looking to the future, the association has held high the ideal figure of composers and the recognition of their authorial role in a work of film. For the past eight years, it has arranged numerous concerts, audience events, and masterclasses at conservatories and art schools, while creating ties to the institutions and its own representation in copyright collection agencies, like SIAE and Nuovo Imaie. And this at time when new challenges are in the offing, with the advent of technologies like AI that are revolutionizing consolidated production practices we were familiar with.
