The Monaco Music Film Festival (MMFF), held annually in Monte Carlo, is a celebration of films, the music of films and their impact on the world and on Monaco lives. Each year, MMFF screens a select number of films in the environment of refined elegance, style and vibrancy only Monaco can offer. In addition, MMF host a series of panel discussions with industry luminaries and current arbiters and host receptions to enhance the celebratory atmosphere. Each year at least one preeminent member of the film community who has contributed to the success, effectiveness and excitement of film through composing and scoring will be honored. MMFF is scheduled during the third week-end of May when significant numbers and members of the film and media community are in the Cote d' Azur conducting business and enjoying the ''joie de vivre''. As part of MMFF commitment to being a responsible world citizen, MMFF will make charitable contributions to, among others, the charities of the artists we honor. The Monaco Music Film Festival's (MMFF) mission is to create and deliver a sustainable, industry-acclaimed invitational festival that celebrates film, the music of film and their impact on the world and on our lives.

Monaco -
background and overview:
The Genoese built a fortress on the site of present-day Monaco in 1215. The current ruling Grimaldi family secured control in the late 13th century, and a principality was established in 1338. Economic development was spurred in the late 19th century with a railroad linkup to France and the opening of a casino. Since then, the principality's mild climate, splendid scenery, and gambling facilities have made Monaco world famous as a tourist and recreation center.
