MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE FOR THE FUTURE: Children have a right to good media music

SoundTrack_Cologne 7.0 will focus on upcoming generations of people who listen to music: With discussions centering around the importance of music in childrenÕs films, the Òsecret powerÓ of radio plays for children, with screenings, case studies (SANDMAN, ANIMALS UNITED) and scientific contributions the conference will concentrate on those who are the weakest and yet are absolutely essential for the industry: children and adolescents, the future audience for film, TV, radio. We were able to attract dedicated partners for the focus on childrenÕs music, among them the magazine FILM-DIENST and the Federal State Council of Music in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).

Dr. Robert von Zahn, secretary general of the NRW Federal State Council of Music, says: ÒThe use of music in childrenÕs media requires, apart from know-how, above all a sense of responsibility and particular care. The NRW Federal State Council of Music does not consider our society and the industry to quite have got there yet. Therefore we will have to focus our attention on the critical discussion of relevant works.Ó
