Film Fest Gent's music prizes yearly welcomes the international film music scene to honour the art of composing for screen ― an often neglected field in the audiovisual industry. The 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 is now celebrating their 𝟮𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆, an anniversary edition that should be celebrated accordingly ― with two guests of honour: 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝗯𝗶𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻 & 𝗔. 𝗥. 𝗥𝗮𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗻. Wiseman is one of the most prolific British and television composers of her time. Her work can be heard in staples of British cinema such as Tom & Viv, To Olivia and Wilde, and also in TV series like Wolf Hall, Father Brown and Judge John Deed.
A. R. Rahman is a two-time Oscar winner and is arguably the biggest Indian composer for screen working today. He has numerous credits in Bollywood and is widely recognised for the scores he has written for Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire (winner of eighth Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song) and the director's follow-up 127 Hours (nominated for six Oscars, including two for Rahman's music).
Joining the line-up is last year's Discovery of the Year winner 𝗝𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘅, who managed to make waves at the 2024 WSAwards, becoming the first ever to win both the Discovery of the Year and the Film Composer of the Year Award in the same year. Starting at the top rather than the bottom, Fendrix' first film score, for Poor Things, has brought him immediate international acclaim, including Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations. His music for Yorgos Lanthimos' multiple Oscar-winning film, along with his score for the director's more recent Kinds of Kindness (and the upcoming Bugonia) confirm that Fendrix has already exceeded the 'discovery' part of his career.
𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 & 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
A celebratory year asks for unique celebrations. This year, we honour two absolute legends of the game. The 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 are masters of minimalism 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 & 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗡𝘆𝗺𝗮𝗻. They and their legacy will be honoured at the film music concert 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀, 𝗡𝘆𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 on 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟲 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿. Their music will be performed live alongside the work of contemporary minimalists 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲-𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 and 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝘀.
