The discussion will shed some insight into Gregson-Williams' creative techniques, including a live demonstration of his work, with special guests Hugh Marsh and Martin Tillman.
Also at the event, a select group of Sundance Institute's Composer Fellows will show their own scored version of a scene from an established film, offering the audience a unique chance to discover, firsthand, how music shapes and enhances the identity of a film and the experience of the viewer. In addition, directors Zal Batmanglij (The East, Sound of My Voice) and Andrew Adamson (The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe, Shrek 2, Shrek, and Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away) will be joining Harry Gregson-Williams for a discussion on their collaborations, delving into the intense and crucial partnership between director and composer.
