The 11th International Film Music Competition will take place during the 19th Zurich Film Festival (28 September – 8 October 2023) and is organised by Zurich Film Festival, Tonhalle-Gesellschaft Zürich AG, and Forum Filmmusik. Participants are invited to score the 7‑minute short film AU REVOIR JÉRÔME! by Chloé Farr, Gabrielle Selnet und Adam Sillard for symphony orchestra.
