RANA EID DISCUSSES TRAMONTANE
Rana Eid, sound designer of Tramontane, tells us more about her experience. (French)
"Pour retranscrire l’univers du héros qui est aveugle, il y avait réellement un équilibre à trouver entre l’image, le son et la musique. Nous voulions créer une bande son qui soit délicate, calme, à l’image du film qui n’est jamais pathétique ou mélodramatique, et surtout qui laisse la place à la musique et au son."
SPECIAL MENTION AT PULA FILM FESTIVAL
The Jury for the International Programme at the Pula Film Festival granted a special mention to Tramontane, in Pula, Croatia.
"For the goodness it finds in a complex way and for showing that life can offer sometimes unexpected prospects."
TRAMONTANE IN KARLOVY VARY
Tramontane was selected to be part of the 51st Karlovy Vary International Film Festival!
The Festival's eloquent description of the film:
"While searching for his roots across his native Lebanon, a young blind musician and singer named Rabih must struggle through an unexpectedly thick web of half-truths, disinformation, and lies. Composed with sensitivity and imbued with tenderness, this debut from a talented filmmaker offers an unforced invitation to contemplate the identity of the individual within a socio-geographical context. The film premiered in the Critics’ Week at Cannes."
