Filmmakers Mark Jenkin and Peter Strickland discuss the subtleties of sound in film.
Mark Jenkin takes a meticulous approach to sound, recording dialogue, FX and atmospheres in post-production, leaving nothing to chance by recording on location. He is joined in conversation by Peter Strickland, another director for whom sound is as important as image - not for its ability to advance narrative or enhance emotion, but for the extra cinematic dimension and atmosphere it can offer. Strickland's films, from Katalin Varga through to his latest, Flux Gourmet, are known for their expert sound designs, which create unique aural experiences. Join them as they discuss the sonic possibilities of film and share their approaches to the use of sound and foley.—Bfi
