Career Achievement Award by Zurich Film Festival for Film Composer Rachel Portman

Each year, the Zurich Film Festival (ZFF) presents honorary awards to celebrated film workers who have shaped and enriched the film landscape. This Autumn, the 18th ZFF (Sept 22-Oct 02) pays tribute with its Career Achievement Award to the multifaceted work of Rachel Portman. «The exploration of film music plays a pivotal role at the ZFF», explains Artistic Director Christian Jungen. «It is for this reason that we are delighted to honour Rachel Portman, a truly extraordinary and inspiring composer.» The British Film Composer Rachel Portman is the first female composer to win an Academy Award in the category of Best Original Score for EMMA by Douglas McGrath starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor. She was also the first female composer to win a Primetime Emmy Award, which she received for the film BESSIE by Dee Rees. She has received two further Academy Nominations for THE CIDER HOUSE RULES and CHOCOLAT by Lasse Hallström, which also earned her a Golden Globe Nomination as well as Bafta nominations for ORANGES ARE NOT THE ONLY FRUIT and THE WOMAN IN BLACK. «I am delighted and honoured to be asked to accept the Career Achievement Award at the 2022 Zurich Film Festival. I feel most humbled to be chosen for such a prestigious award», states Rachel Portman, and adds, «It is a privilege as well to be asked to be the head of the jury for the 10th International Film Music Competition at the Tonhalle Zurich. I greatly look forward to serving on the jury and discovering the talented film composers in the competition. Moreover, it will be fantastic to hear the finalists's scores performed by a live orchestra! I am looking forward very much to coming to Zurich for the Festival.» Rachel Portman was born in 1960 in Haselmere in the South East of England. After completing her studies in composition at Oxford University, she turned with increasing interest to the mediums of theatre and film. The 1982 student film PRIVILEGED laid the foundation for her film music career, and she went on in 1988 to win the British Film Institute's Young Composer of the Year Award. She attracted Hollywood's attention when she wrote the score for USED PEOPLE in 1992. Rachel Portman has collaborated with such director greats as Mike Leigh (LIFE IS SWEET), Jonathan Demme (THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE) and Lynne Ramsay (RATCATCHER). Other films in her oeuvre include OLIVER TWIST by Roman Polanski, BELOVED by Jonathan Demme, BENNY AND JOON by Jeremiah Chechik, NEVER LET ME GO by Mark Romanek, GREY GARDENS by Michael Sucsy, THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE by Robert Redford, INE DAY by Lone Scherfig, MONA LISA SMILE by Mike Newell, THE HUMAN STAIN by Robert Benton, THEIR FINEST by Lone Sherfig, A DOG'S PURPOSE by Lasse Halstrom. Her classical work includes an opera of Saint Exupery's Little Prince for Houston Grand Opera, The Water Diviner's Tale an oratorio for BBC Proms, Earth Song for the BBC singers, Ask The River, a collection of pieces for piano, violin and cello and The First Morning of The World for Joyce Di Donato's Eden. The Career Achievement Award will be presented to Rachel Portman during the Cinema in Concert gala event on September 29, 2022 at the Tonhalle Zurich. Music from her oeuvre will also be performed during the event. Presided over by Rachel Portman, the jury of the IFMC's anniversary edition will, as in previous years, include the German conductor Frank Strobel, who will conduct the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich on the gala evening. Additionally, the international award-winning film score composer Marcel Vaid will make a special guest appearance. With the support of Fondation Suisa, a medley of his best-known works will be performed in his honour. Also a member of the jury is director Barney Cokeliss, whose short film THE FOUNDLING was chosen to form the basis of this year's competition. The short film to be scored by entrants tells the story of an outsider who becomes a travelling circus attraction.

Alev Lenz unterzeichnet Verlagsvertrag mit Bosworth Music GmbH / Wise Music Group

Alev Lenz, Deutsch-Türkische Singer/Songwriterin, Komponistin und Produzentin, hat einen exklusiven weltweiten Verlagsvertrag mit der Bosworth Music GmbH unterzeichnet. Der Vertrag umfasst sowohl Musik aus ihrem Backkatalog als auch alle kommenden Werke. Ihre Titel der Alben '3' , ihre Grammy nominierte Kollaboration mit Anoushka Shankar 'Love Letters', die Filmmusik 'Im Nachtlicht' und ihr aktuelles Album 'Milky Way' werden von Bosworth Music verlegt. Alev Lenz: „Ich freue mich, Teil der internationalen Bosworth und Wise Music-Familie zu werden, die ein so inspirierendes, beeindruckendes und vielfältiges Roster zu bieten hat. Ich wünsche mir, dass wir gemeinsam meine musikalischen Welten weiter verbinden und das Netzwerk der Verbindungen erweitern, um neue und aufregende musikalische Impulse zu setzen. Michael Ohst, Managing Director bei Bosworth Music: „Wir sind glücklich, mit Alev Lenz eine vielseitige und spannende Künstlerin und Komponistin für die Zusammenarbeit mit Bosworth gewonnen zu haben. Ihre Filmmusik und Ihre Grammynominierte Zusammenarbeit mit Anoushka Shankar haben Maßstäbe gesetzt. Wir freuen uns, Alev Lenz bei Ihren zukünftigen Projekten begleiten zu dürfen.“ Mehr über Alev Lenz Die gefragte deutsch-türkische Komponistin, Singer-Songwriterin und Produzentin Alev Lenz arbeitet nach Stationen in New York und Berlin heute zwischen London und München. Sie hat ihren eigenen musikalischen Stil gefunden - irgendwo zwischen anspruchsvollem Pop, ätherischen „Vocalscapes" und Musik, die ihr Erbe außerhalb der 12-Ton-Skala ehrt. Ihr aktuelles Projekt 'Milky Way', ein Album mit 7 Titeln, alle in planetarischen Frequenzen, wurde am 12. April 2022 am International Day of Human Space Flight veröffentlicht. Alev Lenz wurde für ihre umfangreiche Soundtrack-Arbeit gelobt, darunter ihr vielbeachteter Titel 'Fall Into Me' für Charlie Brookers Netflix-Serie 'Black Mirror', dessen Erfolg ihr nach früheren Beiträgen zu Filmen von unter anderem Caroline Link, Barbara Albert, David Dietl, Marc Rothemund und Vivian Naefe weitere Filmmusik-Kompositionen einbrachte wie den Song 'May the Angels' für die zweite Staffel der Netflix-Serie Dark. Die Albumversion von 'Fall Into Me' (genannt 'Splendid Soldiers') wurde auch in der dritten Staffel von 'The Rain' (Netflix) gezeigt. Der Song 'Pieces' aus demselben Album wurde außerdem zweimal in der brandneuen SKY-Serie 'Funeral For A Dog' gezeigt. Ihr neuestes Filmprojekt ist die Filmmusik zu "Im Nachtlicht", einem deutschen Kinofilm, der im April 2022 Premiere feierte. Darüber hinaus steuert Alev Lenz regelmäßig Gesang zu filmischen Arbeiten bei wie z.B. von Niki Reiser, Volker Bertelmann und Carly Paradis, schrieb ein Auftragswerk für den Brooklyn Youth Chorus und arbeitet als internationale Produzentin. 2019 erschien Alevs Album '3', bestehend aus 12 Kompositionen, die von Alevs bestechendem Gesang und ihren Chorarrangements getragen werden, gesungen von dem mit einem Grammy ausgezeichneten Vokalensemble Roomful of Teeth.
