SONAFILM, which was previously addressed as ‘Festival de Música de Cine Ondara’, has recently changed its name to ‘Festival de Música de Cine Marina Alta’, being currently formed by the municipalities of Ondara and Denia, with the aim of incorporating new localities in future editions.
The person in charge of SONFAILM is Javier Gil Pérez, president of the Aljub Músic Association and manager and founder of the Universal Symphony Orchestra, in charge of performing the symphonic concert on Saturday. The festival has the support and confidence of the two participating municipalities and especially the two councils of culture (in charge of Raquel Mengual in Ondara and Raul Garcia de la Reina in Denia) who are committed to carrying out cultural activities that enrich the area.
SONAFILM has also the collaboration and support of SoundTrackFest, which will participate in the festival and will attend both concerts to inform you promptly about them.
