PEER RABEN MUSIC AWARD
The PEER RABEN MUSIC AWARD honors the Best Original Music in a Short Film. The winner receives a prize money of 1,500 euros. First presented in 2009, the award commemorates the great German film composer Peer Raben.
This year, six film scores from six outstanding short films have been nominated for the award, all chosen through their innovative approach and dramaturgically coherent use of music and sound in relation to the narration.
The nominees are:
- Jan Willem de With for ABIA by Sam Nutt, United Kingdom
- Ros Gilman for THE LAST CLOUDWEAVER by Anna-Ester Voloz, United Kingdom
- Lukas Günther for DRUD by Florian Ecker, Germany
- Ana Krstajic for JOS JEDAN DAN / ONE MORE DAY by Radivoje Bukvic, Serbia
- Jonathan Laskar for THE RECORD by Jonathan Laskar, Switzerland
- Rens Machielse & Willem Schneider for BALCONY CACOPHONY by Quentin Haberham, Netherlands
The short films include stories about violence against women in the Middle East, about a magic record that reads the soul and plays memories, about the friendship of a young girl and her wise old dragon, about a neighborhood dispute as a musical feud that shakes the balconies of the disputants, about loneliness in old age and about a mysterious creature from Alpine folklore.
These seven composers are nominated for the PEER RABEN MUSIC AWARD and will present themselves with their film scores for their films at the competition screening on June 23 at 14:30 at Turistarama.
