About this Event
The Singapore International Soundtrack Festival (SISF) is a three day celebration of creating movie magic through music, sound and storytelling. Bringing together Hollywood masters, regional creators and Singapore’s own film music community, SISF offers an immersive experience for composers, filmmakers, audio professionals, students and enthusiasts.
This year’s edition shines a spotlight on award recipient Conrad Pope, one of the most influential orchestrators in modern cinema, and Angel Velez, co-founder of the Los Angeles Film Conducting Intensive. Through in depth masterclasses, a fireside chat and a premium meet & greet, they will reveal the craft, technique and emotional artistry behind the music that shapes our favourite films.
Festival highlights include the SISF Opening Reception, the Singapore premiere of Oversteer, a live Music & Sound panel with the creative team, a curated Asia Pacific evening showcase, and a full day exploring the future of screen music—from AI and technology to cinematic sound design and Singapore’s own film legacy.
Whether you’re building your portfolio, seeking mentorship, exploring new technologies or simply passionate about film and music, SISF invites you into the world where sound and storytelling meet.
Join us as we learn, connect and create movie magic together.
