NFF Prof Talks: composer Daniel Pemberton & sound designer Peter Albrechtsen
NFF Professionals is part of the Netherlands Film Festival (NFF), intended for the Dutch film industry. Every year, NFF brings professionals from various disciplines together during the NFF Professionals Programme. The programme consists of inspirational Prof Talks, a conference day full of (inter)national speakers and stirring conversations, extensive talent development opportunities and the international HFM Lab and Market. This year the Professionals Programme will take place between September 23 and 27. Both Prof Talks are on Sunday 25 September in Utrecht.
Daniel Pemberton
Drawing on personal experiences and supported by visual material and case studies, Daniel Pemberton will explain his working process as composer.
The music of composer Daniel Pemberton is innovative and unique. By experimenting with sound, he develops emotional scores that don’t dominate the sound of a film. His work ranges from otherworldly tones for The Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance to percussion in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and hip hop in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. He is currently working on Enola Holmes 2, various Spider-Man sequels, Amsterdam and See How They Run.
In this Prof Talk, Pemberton will introduce you to his working methods, explaining how he experiments with sound to develop emotional scores, and why he thinks it’s important to work with artists who can relate to the story personally. Hear about Pemberton’s special relationship with sound editors, how he succeeds in finding the perfect balance between film and music, and his drive to create a completely new experience for the viewer.

In this Prof Talk, Albrechtsen will talk about his working method and creative process, and the musicality of sound design. An unmissable session for lovers of sound in film.
