We all watch films –but do we truly listen to them? How aware are we of the soundscapes that shape the stories we see, translating images into sensations, emotions and subtle impressions? Multifaceted artists Nicolas Becker and Simon Fisher Turner join us to discuss the creative processes behind some of cinema’s most iconic sound designs and music scores, as well as the rich variety of interdisciplinary collaborations that continue to nurture and expand their artistic research.
French composer and sound engineer Nicolas Becker (Krakatoa, IFFR 2026), Academy Award winner for Best Sound for Sound of Metal (IFFR 2019), defines himself as a “sound activist”, championing the importance of sound in the world of cinema and constantly exploring new artistic and interdisciplinary collaborations.
Actor, musician and sound designer Simon Fisher Turner (Heart of Light – eleven songs for Fiji, IFFR 2026), famous for his extensive collaborations with Derek Jarman, has built a singular career at the intersection of film, music and experimental sound.
