Soundscapes: Crafting Immersive Audio in Documentary Film. Masterclass by Nicolas Becker and Peter Albrechtsen
Join us for an exclusive masterclass with world-renowned sound designers Peter Albrechtsen and Nicolas Becker, the creative forces behind the immersive soundscapes of “Viktor” (dir. Olivier Sarbil). This unique session offers an in-depth exploration of sound design in documentary filmmaking, focusing on the artistic and technical challenges of crafting an auditory world for a protagonist who cannot hear.
In this masterclass, Albrechtsen and Becker (Oscar®-winning sound designer for Sound of Metal) will break down their creative process, revealing how they designed a deeply immersive sonic experience that conveys both the absence and presence of sound. Through case studies, behind-the-scenes insights, and technical demonstrations, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the role of sound in documentary storytelling and designing soundscapes that reflect subjective perception.
