Between music and video: strengthening interdisciplinarity and innovation
In response to changes in the audiovisual language of the music industry, the Solothurn Film Festival is expanding its offering as part of the ‘SO PRO’ professional platform. With the support of the FONDATION SUISA, the Solothurn Film Festival will launch ‘Screen to Sound’ at the end of 2025, a new creative laboratory that will replace the ‘Best Swiss Video Clip’ competition.
‘Screen to Sound’ offers musicians and filmmakers the opportunity to present original interdisciplinary creations that bring music to life. These audiovisual creations can take many different forms, ranging from visual albums to immersive musical experiences and live projections during concerts. All ideas are welcome, especially those that dare to innovate and push the boundaries of the dialogue between sound and image.
2026 project selection
A selection of the projects submitted benefited from a day of mentoring with renowned experts from the music and audiovisual scene. At the end of the day, three projects were awarded development grants totalling CHF 10,000, which was divided between them. The day ended on a high note with a concert where music and video became one.
In January 2026, the following projects were awarded:
- «Lolito ceresiaco» by Anna Simonetti and Tatum Rush
- «Hassan» by 7EMA
- «Arthur Hnatek, Sophie Le Meillour» by Arthur Hnatek and Sophie Le Meillour
