Film Score Fest is a one-of-a-kind event in St. Paul, Minnesota. Filmmakers and composers/music-makers are paired up to create new short films, and the Film Score Fest orchestra performs the scores live at the screening.

“Thrilling, boundary-pushing…Film Score Fest is a state treasure and a can’t-miss event.”

– Amy Donahue, Twin Cities Arts Reader (read the full review)
