🎬 This year's MaMA Convention 2025 gets off to a strong start with a first theme at the heart of the music industry. The focus of this early program: music to image! SynchAudio offers an exclusive listening session followed by a discussion on sound creation for cinema, series and immersive formats. And for fans of hip-hop culture, there's a highlight in the form of a documentary devoted to DJ Mehdi. With meetings, reflections and previews, this edition opens with an inspiring program.
| DJ Mehdi: Made in France – Anatomy of a Prodigy |
Awarded a Victoire de la Musique for best audiovisual creation, the documentary series DJ Mehdi: Made in France shook up the codes of music documentaries in France. Through its artistic ambition, its powerful, immersive narrative, and the richness of its soundtrack - mixing iconic tracks with original compositions specially created for the film - this work marks a major turning point in the genre.
In an exceptional session, the main architects of this critically acclaimed project will share a behind-the-scenes look at its creation. They'll talk about the narrative choices made, the organic link between music and image, and how DJ Mehdi's musical legacy was celebrated, reinvented and magnified on screen.
A unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the alchemy between documentary and music, and understand how Made in France has captured the soul of an iconic artist while reinventing the forms of audiovisual storytelling.

| Behind the scenes of synchro with SynchAudio and exceptional guests |
Join SynchAudio for an immersive listening experience based around a carefully chosen selection of tracks, analyzed through the prism of their potential for placement in audiovisual works. What makes a track a perfect fit for a scene? What artistic, technical or legal criteria influence these choices?
At the heart of this reflection: musical synchronization, an essential creative and strategic lever for giving a strong sound identity to any audiovisual project.
To explore the many facets of musical synchronization, a high-level panel will bring together three major figures in the sector:
🎵 Nora Felder, Emmy Award-winning music supervisor,
🎵 Farinoush Mostaghimi, recognized expert in synchronization strategy,
🎵 Pierre-Marie Wudarski, specialist in music rights management.
A captivating session to understand the inner workings of synchro and discover the behind-the-scenes aspects of major musical decisions in film, TV series and advertising.
This is just the beginning, we look forward to seeing you soon to discover the rest of the 2025 topics and speakers 🔥
