Hosted by Tomasz Gąssowski

During the meeting it will be possible to find out, among other things:
– what music in film is and how it differs from music in its “pure” form
– what the specifics of cooperation between composer, sound engineer and director are
– how music is a strong medium and how music can define the character of a film
– what are the biggest pitfalls in the work of a composer

And to learn about the role of music:
– as a means of giving the film its rhythm and broader meaning – the leitmotiv or leitmotif of the film
– as a means of giving a proper reading of the expression of a scene in a film
– as a means of speeding up the film’s action and bringing out important content
– as a means of stirring emotions

The entire meeting will be conducted in the form of a combined lecture and discussion illustrated with a dozen or so fragments of Andrzej Jakimowski’s films: “Zmruż Oczy”, “Sztuczki” and “Imagine”  “Speedway” by Dorota Kędzierzawska, “Baraż” by Tomasz Gąssowski and interspersed with quotes and anecdotes about the collaboration of prominent directors with prominent composers.
