‘Joker,’ ‘Tár’ Composer Hildur Gudnadóttir to Be Feted by Zurich Film Festival


Hildur Gudnadóttir, best known for her compositions for “Joker” and “Tár,” will receive the career achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival.

Gudnadóttir will preside over the jury of the 13th International Film Music Competition and will also take part in a ZFF Masters session. The festival, which runs Sept. 25-Oct. 5, awards honorary prizes to “significant filmmakers whose work have shaped and enriched the film landscape,” it said. She is an inquisitive musician who develops her scores in dialog with the filmmakers and their sequences, creating melodies that you might not hum to yourself on the way home, but which resonate deep within us and thus shape our experience of films such as ‘Joker’ or ‘Tár.’ Her unmistakable style makes her a groundbreaking artist and a role model for many young talents worldwide.
