The International Geneva-based Film Festival, Tous Ecrans, in collaboration with Mx3, launches this innovative competition to bring filmmakers and musicians closer.

If you are a director and you like the idea of turning a song into pictures, this contest is made for you! Thanks to Mx3.ch and the artists on the platform, the entire music catalog of the website is at your disposal.
The idea is simple: If you are inspired by a song on this platform, please let us know, and if the author agrees, you'll receive the file for free.
The clips can be shot with a photo camera or a smartphone, the only thing that matters is that they tell a story!
The winner will receive a high exposure in the medias (press, radio, Internet, etc.), his/her work will be presented during the Festival Tous Ecrans and he/she will win a weekend in Berlin for 4 - all inclusive!
The video must be based on music that is available on Mx3 and it must tell a story!
You can upload your video onto the user profiles (USER / FAN) on Mx3.ch (it is free and set up in 2 minutes) where you will find all the technical information.
But beware, submission deadline is October 14... Good luck to you all and surprise us!
