16 October 2024 Gent (Ghent) (Belgium)
Film Fest Gent: 24th World Soundtrack Awards Ceremony & Concert
Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Dirk Brossé - Muziekcentrum De Bijloke - concertzaal
Program Info: On Wednesday 16 October 2024, Film Fest Gent brings together the crème de la crème of the international film music industry in Muziekcentrum de Bijloke, at the World Soundtrack Awards Ceremony & Concert. The festival is thrilled to announce Philippe Rombi as this year’s guest of honour. A selection of his work will be performed by the Brussels Philharmonic, conducted by maestro Dirk Brossé. Philippe Rombi is no stranger to Film Fest Gent; in 2008 he was a member of the international jury of the festival.
Philippe Rombi grew up in the Southwest of France in a musical family. His older brother’s record collection introduced him to the magic of film scores. His passion for music brought him to the Conservatoire National de Région in Marseille where he studied piano, harmony and conducting with Léa Roussel, Pol Mule and Pierre Barbizet. After completing his studies in Marseille, Rombi enrolled in the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Musique (ENMP) in Paris where he studied composition. A partnership between ENMP and La Fémis film school was established by Rombi’s teacher, French film composer Antoine Duhamel. It was through this partnership that Rombi made his first film scores for student films by - among others - Isabelle Broué.
American composer Elliot Goldenthal will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 24th World Soundtrack Awards, Film Fest Gent’s annual film music prizes. Most renowned for his Oscar, Golden Globe, and WSA-winning score for Frida, Goldenthal’s career encompasses a rich variety of film scores, including Interview with the Vampire, Heat, Batman Forever, Michael Collins, Titus, and Across the Universe. Elliot Goldenthal, who turns 70 this year, will be presented with his award on 16 October 2024, at Muziekcentrum De Bijloke at the WSA Ceremony & Concert. During this concert, a selection of Elliot Goldenthal’s work will be performed by the Brussels Philharmonic conducted by maestro Dirk Brossé. Goldenthal made his first visit to the WSA in 2000 for his score for Titus (1999) together with director Julie Taymor, when the film premiered at Film Fest Gent. In 2003, Goldenthal returned to Ghent, winning the WSAwards for ‘Soundtrack Composer’ and ‘Best Soundtrack of the Year’ for Frida (2002). Eight years later, he was one of the distinguished guests at the 11th World Soundtrack Awards alongside fellow Oscar winners Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer and Giorgio Moroder.
