Festival Talk: Soundscapes with Richard King
Guests Expected
Sound Designer/Supervising Sound Editor Richard King and Moderator Lora Hirschberg will be in attendance.
Description
The craft of sound editing is critical to our movie viewing experience. A soundscape blends ambient noise, dialogue, music, room tone, and more into a tapestry of sonic cues that transports audiences into the imagery onscreen. At the Festival, four-time Academy Award®-winning sound editor Richard King joins us for an intimate conversation about his contributions to Dunkirk, Inception, The Dark Knight, Maestro, Oppenheimer, and more. This talk will include an exclusive presentation of a clip from Dune: Part Two film of Paul Atreides riding a sandworm (courtesy of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.), to highlight the complex work Richard does in film. RSVP at SFFILM.org today.
