International Film Music Critics Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Film Music Critics Association, also known by the acronym IFMCA, is an association of editors, journalists, radio hosts and reviewers from online and print publications who specialize in writing about original film and television music.

Currently, their main activitity is the IFMCA Awards, an annual "awards ceremony" which honors the best in film, television and game music in a given year, and is intended to be a more viable alternative to awards such as the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes, which are not chosen by professionals dedicated to the genre.

The group was originally formed in the early 2000s as the Film Music Critics Jury by film music journalist and producer Mikael Carlsson, editor and journalist of filmmusicradio.com, filmmusicweekly.com and owner of the Swedish label MovieScore Media. Since 2004, when the group changed to its current name, the IFMCA has grown to comprise 43 members from countries as diverse as Australia, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.
