BMI @ Sundance 2005

From bringing film composers like Danny Elfman , Thomas Newman , Rolfe Kent, Graeme Revell , George S. Clinton , Cliff Martinez and Stewart Copeland to Sundance, to hosting directors like Gus Van Sant and John Waters at the festival, BMI has continued to promote the director/composer relationship and the art of the score. In addition to composers, BMI has had a long history of presenting live music at Sundance, with such bands as DEVO, Beck, Shelby Lynne, The Neville Brothers, Allison Moorer, Los Lobos, Cheap Trick, the Cardigans, Cracker, Joan Osborne and Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) playing at BMI sponsored events.

Through its ongoing support of the Sundance Composers Lab held at the Sundance Institute during the summer, BMI continues to look for new and innovative ways to help enhance the composer and director relationship and the significance of music in film. This year BMI is once again presenting a roundtable discussion on the creative process of putting music to picture with a distinguished group of composers and directors scheduled to participate. BMI is also sponsoring the Sundance Songwriters Snowball with five diverse, influential and vital songwriters working in the rock and pop genres today. BMI is also proud to support its many composers who have scored films at the festival, as well as other songwriters who have original music in films and are performing at various other events in Park City during the festival.
