Thursday 18/10 – 14:30-17:30h – Masterclass sound mixing & editing – KASKcinema

Sound editor Val Kuklowsky, who has worked on over 100 titles such as ‘Independence Day’ and ‘Game of Thrones’, will be the instructor for this masterclass.

 

Film Fest Gent‘s film program focuses on Hungarian cinema this year, and Kuklowsky will explain the different workflows between the well-structured sound teams in Hollywood, and the less hierarchically organized teams working for European productions. In doing so, the Oscar-winning Hungarian film Son Of Saul will be highlighted as an example of groundbreaking European production in the field of sound design.
