The Sound of Filmmusik: Brand / Sinha / Bertelmann

Take a break from streaming films with some “cinema for your ears” as Goethe-Institut Toronto Program Curator Jutta Brendemühl introduces you to the best & brightest film composers in an ongoing video series called "The Sound Of Filmmusik" (takes 1-3 here, takes 7-9 here), from Hollywood super star Hans Zimmer to 2020 Oscar winner Hildur Guðnadóttir.

Honorary mention in this series to the greatest Weimar composer Germany never had: Contemporary British artist Neil Brand is giving early silents a special spin. I hope you heard him at our last GOETHE FILMS @ TIFF Lightbox screening of “Spies”:

No best ever composer list without Hauschka aka Volker Bertelmann, a good friend of the Goethe-Institut Toronto --read our interview with Hauschka and see his contribution to our Goethe 20/20 magazine here. He has nearly a dozen international A-list films still to be released this year:

Stay tuned for more weekly episodes!
