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.
