Session on film soundtrack
in collaboration with SACEM

After studying at Cinésup in Nantes, a quick experience at Jean-Marc Montera’s GRIM Institute (Music Research and Improvisation Group) and training in the sound department of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure Louis Lumière, Pierre Desprats juggles various live projects - under the stage name KARELLE -, compositions for short and feature films and sound creations for theatre performances and national galleries. His work includes the music of several films by Bertrand Mandico (Wild Boys, Ultra Pulp and After Blue (Dirty Paradise)), by Lucie Borleteau (Perfect Nanny), Elie Grappe (Olga, Semaine de la Critique, 2021), Farid Bentoumi (Red Soil), Andrés Ramírez Pulido (La Jauría, Semaine de la Critique Grand Prize 2022). 

A trained violinist and a graduate in quantum physics and the ENS Louis Lumière film school, Delphine worked as a sound engineer on feature films and series for ten years before fully dedicating herself to music composition. 

In 2021, she composed the soundtrack for Quentin Reynaud’s Final Set and Jacqueline Lentzou’s Moon 66 questions, which competed at the Encounters selection of the 2021 Berlin IFF. 

This year, she composed the music for Jean-Baptiste Durand’s feature Chien de la casse and Quentin Reynaud’s En plein feu, and co-signed the soundtrack for Alexandre Abaturov’s Paradise, which competed at the 2022 IDFA international competition. 

Her music draws from enclosing electronic sounds and sound design, and more classical, orchestral compositions. 

Delphine was one of the 2021 Berlinale Talents and competed for the Michel Legrand award for emerging talents.

Frédéric Alvarez studied film at Louis Lumière University in Lyon, music at the American School of Modern Music and at Schola Cantorum. 

He composed the soundtrack of many documentaries and short films such as Women of virtue by Stéphanie Halfon - which competed at the Césars -; and feature films, such as Les Filles du Moyen-Âge and Louloute by Hubert Viel, and Giovanni Aloi’s The Third War, screened at Venice IFF. He also works on international films such as Abroad by American director Giovanni Fumu, and several films that are currently showing: In the Land of Brothers by Iranian directors Alireza Ghasemi and Raha Amirfazl, and Bhutanese director Pawo Choyning Dorji’s Four Days of Full Moon. 

In 2022, he composed the score for Emmanuel Nicot’s Love According to Dalva, which competed at La Semaine de la Critique.
