Wallonie sans Frontières: Genre Music and Cinema in Montreal

Between Wallimage and genre films, the love story is hot. For proof, just take a look at the Fantastic Wallonia section of our site.

In addition to co-financing this type of work, Wallimage has been an active partner for the past ten years of the international Frontières market, which specializes in this niche and attracts millions of fans worldwide.

This year, we’ll be taking part in the Fantasia Festival, held in Montreal from August 23 to 26. Yes, the festival where Karim Ouelhaj’s Megalomaniac won the 2022 Cheval Noir award for best film in the international competition, while Eline Schumacher took the acting prize. Double success for Wallimage!

Since last year, the festival has opened up to film music, so we’ve decided to have a Walloon composer accompany us to the festival, where he or she will be able to meet the cream of specialist producers from all over the world. And so make some exceptional contacts.

To this end, we invite you to take part in the contest organized by the Frontières Platform.

Beware! Only two international artists will be selected by Frontières to present their pitch. If the winner is Walloon, one of them will accompany us. In addition to the opportunities offered by Frontières and described on the link, his or her accreditation will be paid for by Wallimage, along with five nights’ hotel accommodation on site from Tuesday July 22 to Sunday July 27. Not bad, eh?

But that’s not all: we also ask you to send a copy of your application to Wallimage(php@wallimage.be ), BECAUSE if no Walloon is a winner in the international competition, Wallimage will still pack its bags with the Walloon composer deemed most interesting by the organization. As you may have gathered, you must be domiciled in Wallonia to take part in this part B of the competition. Our representative will then have the opportunity to attend all the presentations, drinks, barbecues, parties… and above all to meet specialists from all over the world face-to-face. As with the international competition, professional accreditation and five nights’ hotel accommodation are provided by Wallimage.

Ready for the big challenge?

We’re off! It’s Montreal time!
