Kiel Society for Film Music Research

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kiel Society for Film Music Research was founded by a group of musicologists and film and media scholars in 2006 at Kiel University in Germany.

As an academic society the members organize annual national meetings as well as international conferences mainly on specific topics such as Jazz in Film (2011), Silent Film Sound (2013), and Music in TV Series (2015).

The society also publishes an open-access online journal entitled Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung which includes twelve issues to date (2015). On occasion, articles from specialized conferences are published as proceedings. The Kiel Society for Film Music Research is a renowned institution in German-speaking countries that is promoting the research of film music issues at its conferences and stimulates the dialogue among practitioners from the realms of music and cinema.
