Film Case Studies at STC23

On July 15, 2026, SoundTrack_Cologne 23 will feature three case studies with composers and creative teams behind acclaimed film projects.

The programme opens with a case study on the children's film TAFITI, featuring composer Carsten Rocker (Die Rosenheim-Cops · In aller Freundschaft · Küstenwache).

The case study Death Will Come, premiered at Locarno, brings together composer Nigji Sanges and producer Bettina Brokemper (Heimatfilm), who will discuss the creative process behind the thriller, directed by Christoph Hochhäusler.

Composer Antonio de Luca and director Caroline Kox, aka Koxi, will also present their most recent feature film, Liebhaberinnen, which premiered at the Berlinale 2026. In a talk, they will explore the creative collaboration between composer and director and discuss how music and direction came together to shape the film. The project is set to release in cinemas in the second half of 2026.
