“THE JOURNEY AND THE ROLE OF MUSIC IN A FILM”: MUSIC IN MOTION MASTERCLASS WITH SUZANA PERIĆ

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6
11:00
Pavlos Zannas Theater

From the original story idea to the final draft of a screenplay, casting, cinematography, costumes, and design – when does the thought of music enter the equation? The answer is that there is no exact answer. There is no right or wrong path, there is no rule that guides the process. It’s always the film that leads. And the moment in that particular time with that particular cast of characters. However, how the music seizes that moment, how it becomes an integral part of that particular story, does have an answer. A music editor’s job is to search for that answer, a composer’s job is to find it. Suzana Perić has been active as Music Editor since 1986. Her work traverses an array of genres, for both studio and independent films – including Something Wild (1986), Casualties of War (1988), Naked Lunch (1991), The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Philadelphia (1993), Kundun (1997), The Lord of the Rings (2001), The Pianist (2002), Angels In America (2003), All Is Lost (2012), Lady Bird (2017), Little Women (2019), Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2019), Barbie (2023).
