Music and Sound in Film

This panel brings together one of the top award-winning film and televison composers, Jeff Beal, with the founder of Canada's largest sound studio, Tattersall Sound. Together, with the forum moderators, they will discuss and present film clips that help to illuminate the relationship between the music and sound design, to the film image, and how the various elements of the soundtrack create and contribute to the film's narrative, themes and emotions.

Panelists:

Jeff Beal recently scored Ed Harris' western, Appaloosa. He also collaborated with Harris on the Academy Award winning film Pollock. Beal has won four Emmys and nine nominations for scores to HBO's series Rome and  Carnivale, USA's Monk, TNT's miniseries The Company, and Steven King's Nightmares and Dreamscapes.

Wolfgang Eckert recently composed the score for The Puppeteer of Havana. He publishes recordings through the British label Postern Park Digital. His art of improvisation is featured in Edna Kontsek's documentary Hammerzart.

Jane Tattersal is one of Canada’s premier film sound designers and sound editors having worked with such acclaimed directors as Istvan Szabo, Bill Forsyth, Fernando Mereilles, Clement Virgo, and David Cronenberg. She was named Woman Entrepreneur of the Year, 2000.
