Krakow Film Music Festival | 27 – 31 MAY 2015
The Kilar Award was presented to Elliot Goldenthal at the Polish Music Gala: Scoring4Wajda at the
ICE Krakow Congress Centre, which featured four pieces Kilar wrote for films directed by Andrzej
Wadja, who was present at the event.
The Oscar-winning American composer said it was “inspirational and humbling” to receive the award
named for the great Polish composer who scored films such as Roman Polanski’s “The Pianist”
(2002), Francis Ford Coppola’s “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” (1992) and Jane Campion’s “Portrait of a Lady”
(1996).
The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Alexander Liebreich, which performed
an evening of music from Wadja fims, also played Goldenthal’s thrilling “Louis’s Revenge” from Neil
Jordan’s “Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles” (1994).

On April 30, 2015 the Wojciech Kilar Award’s Expert Council, consisting of directors of the most
important Polish cultural institutions, selected the winner of the first edition of the award
established in 2014 by the Presidents of Krakow and Katowice. Its aim is primarily to honor and
celebrate the memory of Wojciech Kilar, as well as emphasize the importance of the ethos of the
composer in the interdisciplinary world of film. With the Award’s establishment, name and
accomplishments of Wojciech Kilar, one of the most recognizable Polish composers of the 20th and
21st centuries, will gain a new international dimension.
The Award consists of a common fund for a recording session with the participation of any orchestra
from Silesia and Krakow. This is the second important award granted at the Krakow Film Music
Festival. Since 2013, the festival grants a special statuette to a FMF Young Talent Award winner, a
young composer that has succeeded in winning the international competition in which the task is to
compose music for film clips, animation or video games.
The Kilar Award is granted for the lifetime achievement to composers of film music who remain
faithful to the traditional art of composing, write scores that in isolation from the image do not lose
clarity, and efficiently use the language of music, producing rich and distinct colors, shades and
textures in their work.

SUPPORTER OF:
The criteria for the Wojciech Kilar Award turn away from the quest for industrialization and the
primacy of special effects in film music soundtracks. Founding this Award is to a way to take part in
the debate by juxtaposing the traditional art of composing film music with its assembly line,
business-like alternative. The vast majority of composers producing music as if in a factory do not
have direct contact with autonomous work.Often standing at the forefront, the composer is just the
author of several themes that are harmonized, instrumented and prepared by a staff of anonymous
musicians, says Robert Piaskowski, Artistic Director of the Krakow FMF, the originator of the
Award. Our duty is to emphasize the importance and worth of film music often called the “new
classic”.
The Expert Council of the Wojciech Kilar Award, from several renowned international names
provided by the program team of the Film Music Festival, almost unanimously selected the winner of
the 1st edition. It is Elliot Goldenthal
Goldenthal, winner of the Oscar, Golden Globe and World Soundtrack
Awards for Best Original Music for the film Frida (2002), directed by Julie Taymor. Nominated for the
Pulitzer Prize in the field of classical music, winner of two Golden Globes, three Grammy Awards, two
Tony awards, three Chicago Film Critics Association Awards (CFCA),and six awards granted by the
American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), including the ASCAP Founders
Award in March 2015. The Kilar Award will therefore be granted to one of the most versatile
composers of contemporary music, who has composed music for film, opera, ballet, symphony
orchestras and theater, as well as chamber music. In his music, Goldenthal balances between
dissonant, atonal music and classical harmony, often during a single phrase, blending traditional
orchestral music with jazz and rock, as well as electronic music. He feels comfortable working on
pieces extensive symphonically and chorally as well as more ambient and intimate, creating both
traditional and unusual compositions. Goldenthal is highly valued for his unique, dark, and
almostdense style. None of the contemporary composers of film music use their talent in creating
works in such a variety of musical genres.
KRAKOW FILM MUSIC FESTIVAL
CINEMA MUSICA
The Director of the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa justified her
choice with these words: He engages with his craft brilliantly and stands in line with such great
composers as Wagner, Strauss, Mahler or Bruckner. My point primarily is about his thinking and
understanding of form. His scores are dense and extremely professional; he maintains the balance
between melody and harmony, creates a very personal narrative and style, and possesses
strong understanding of the whole form. This is a truly novelistic musical narrative.
Editor-in-Chief of Polish Music Publishing Daniel Cichy said that, In his work, ElliotGoldenthal
combines respect for tradition, humility in relation to the composer’s craft, and remarkable ability to
connect with orchestras and to fully feel and understand the medium of film. Juggling styles and
conventions with ease, frequently on the verge between aesthetic worlds, Goldenthal masterfully
complements the film director’s vision, sometimes following in-line with it and almost illustrating the
protagonists’ emotions, and other times standing in opposition to the film’s expression, creating a
contrapuntal narrative painting with sound. Interestingly, however, despite being met with a
diversity of styles and a variety of orchestrations as well as the need to intelligently embody ofthe
film’s theme, genre and form, the composer always creates a coherent musical message. And this is
a trait that distinguishes the most prominent and outstanding from the rest.
