Overcoming Nostalgia: Contemporary Film Music Production in Europe
Morricone, Rota, Micalizzi, Goblin, Frizzi: Italian film music composition and production have shaped the sound of world cinema, from blockbusters to exploitation C-movies. It formed a brand that remains present today, with Oscar-winning composers like Piovani or even Marianelli. While we celebrate the glorious past which paved the way, this tradition, together with other pivotal moments in European film scoring, deserves to be analysed and understood.What sparked these iconic constellations of creative genius, which left such a significant mark? What was their socio-historical context fostering such courageous and innovative art? And, ultimately, how can the spirit and the realisations from that period be adapted to the Here and Now; or, more importantly, to the future of music in European film with the goal of becoming more creative, dynamic, courageous, competitive, and globally impactful?Beyond a most exciting discussion, the desired output of this roundtable is a comprehensive document collecting key points of analysis, best practices, and innovative ideas intended as inspiration and motivation for business development and future policy recommendations.
