Soundtrack_Zurich 2022 - 3rd edition – Program, guests & concert

 

The conference is organized by Forum Filmmusik, curated by Michael Aust (SoundTrack_Cologne) and organized in cooperation with Tonhalle Zurich ZHdK (Zurich University of Arts) and SoundTrack_Cologne. The primary goal of SoundTrack_Zurich is to present the work of Swiss and European film composers at eye level with their international colleagues.

 

SoundTrack_Zurich presents important film composers in two parallel strands over two days. In addition, the conference hosts an array of panels, networking sessions, discussion rounds, case studies and workshops that take up current topics concerning today’s film music scene. Another significant element is the networking of film composers with the international guests of the Zurich Film Festival.

 

SPEAKERS

Oscar-winning film composer Rachel Portman (Chocolat, The Cider House Rules) also ZFF Career Achievement Award recipient, trumpet player Nils Petter Molvær (European Film Award 2021 Best Score), Fatima Dunn (Swiss Film Award 2022 Best Score), and Zeltia Montes (Spanish Goya Award for Best Score 2022) are only a few of the 60 Speakers at the 3rd edition of SoundTrack_Zurich (STZ).
