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.
