For a second year, Lumedia Musicworks will present the Early Music Film Competition, rewarding an artist who successfully brings one of two early music selections to life on screen. The deadline for submissions is extended to June 1st.
Film entries must feature the music as the primary voice in the film and must be submitted online by midnight. For more details and technical requirements, visit http://www.lumediamusicworks.com/filmcompetition.
Dallas-based Lumedia is a nonprofit committed to showcasing and performing early music, performing on historical reproductions of instruments from the baroque, renaissance and medieval periods at a historical pitch. Lumedia Musicworks’ core team is highly trained in historically informed performance practices.
The music film competition is open to all ages, occupations and geographic locations. Applicants can choose from one of two exclusive soundtracks made by Lumedia. The first-place winner will receive a cash prize of $750, a film feature at Lumedia’s summer 2021 short film event and exposure on Lumedia’s media outlets and website.
More details and technical requirements are available on Lumedia’s website. The competition is sponsored by Patricia and Robert Brooks, longtime supporters of Lumedia and the Dallas arts.
Lumedia’s film competition underscores the organization’s push to expose more audiences to early music, said Julianna Emanski, Lumedia’s artistic director.
Last year’s event featured music films from around the country and the world showcasing early music.
