August 10

10 a.m. — Course: “Creative Processes in Audiovisual Composition” – with Felipe Radicetti

 

The course is divided into three parts: the first, which is brief and expository, sets the stage for the second part, during which the audience works collectively to create music for excerpts from pre-existing films (screening, analysis, discussion, and proposal). Finally, in the third part, the process explored is analyzed and evaluated.

 

2:00 p.m. — Panel Discussion: “AI in Soundtracks: From Fear to Routine” with Lou Schmidt, Marcio Nigro, Mauricio Domene

 

This panel will feature a practical discussion on the use of Artificial Intelligence in soundtrack production, drawing on the real-world experience of professionals who already use these tools in their daily work. The idea is not to discuss whether AI “is good or bad,” nor to engage in abstract philosophical or legal speculation, but to show how these technologies are being incorporated into the actual workflows of creation, production, and delivery of soundtracks for audiovisual media. The discussion will cover tools, approaches, limitations, efficiency gains, and creative impacts, featuring practical examples and complementary perspectives from those currently working in this field.

David Mansfield is an award-winning American composer of film and television scores, violinist, and multi-instrumentalist. He began his professional career as a teenager, and at age 18, he joined Bob Dylan’s band during the historic Rolling Thunder Revue tour, recording albums and appearing in films and documentaries alongside the artist.

As a composer, he has built a solid career in Hollywood and in international cinema, collaborating with directors such as Michael Cimino, Arturo Ripstein, Maggie Greenwald, Walter Hill, and Robert Duvall. His score for *Deep Crimson* won the award for Best Original Score at the Venice Film Festival and the Havana Film Festival, while the miniseries *Broken Trail*, composed in collaboration with Van Dyke Parks, was nominated for an Emmy.

David produced the soundtrack albums for the films *Heaven’s Gate*, *Year of the Dragon*, *The Sicilian* (The Sicilian), “Desperate Hours,” “Ballad of Little Jo,” and “Broken Trail,” among others.

Short films are often the gateway for directors and composers into the audiovisual world, but they are also a format in which experienced professionals work.
