WSA Film Music Days: Composer’s Talk: Elliot Goldenthal

Edition 2024 WSA Film Music Days
WSA Film & Music
During a Composer's Talk, we give a composer the time and space to talk extensively about their oeuvre.

Elliot Goldenthal has done what only few can: writing over forty recognizable film and television scores, that clearly carry his characteristic artistic fingerprint, and yet surprising every time. Looking back at his rich oeuvre, the American Composer talks us through the creative process that has led to award-winning scores such as Frida, Alien³ and Batman Forever. His fusion of styles and genres is not only unique and refreshing, but has inspired many fellow composers. During this one-on-one conversation, Goldenthal gives insight in his sources of inspirations and discusses the milestones of his still flourishing career.

Ruben De Gheselle is known for his intimate, hypnotic and sometimes dark scores for films such as the Cannes-nominated Clara Sola (Nathalie Álvarez Mesén, 2021), A Cops & Robbers Story (Ilinca Calugareanu, 2020) which premiered at DOC NYC, or the Canneseries-winning Lockdown (De Wereldvrede & Lecter Media). Ruben also worked on several internationally acclaimed short films including The Passerby (2020) and Beast! (2016) by Pieter Coudyzer and Elena (Birute Sodeikate, 2021). He won various prestigious awards such as the Grand Prix for best music in Marseille and an Ensor in 2022. In 2021, he won the Georges Delerue Award at Film Fest Gent for the music of Clara Sola.
