Friday 20 August

10.05am  Sally Potter
Real Player Windows Media
What do the films of Charlie Chaplin, Clint Eastwood and Sally Potter have in common? As often as not, the director of the film has also been its composer. In an illuminating illustrated conversation with Andrew Ford, Sally Potter reveals how music is intrinsic to her movie making.

Thursday 19

10.05am  Richard Rodney Bennett
Real Player Windows Media
Composer Richard Rodney Bennett, in conversation with Andrew Ford, offers entertaining and revealing reflections on his working life, including the highlights, and lowlights, of his work as a film composer. His film scores include Indiscreet, Billy Liar, Equus, Enchanted April, Far From the Madding Crowd, Nicholas and Alexandra and Murder on the Orient Express, the last three earning him Oscar nominations.

Wednesday 18

10.05am  Bruce Beresford
Real Player Windows Media
Bruce Beresford is a film director so musically intelligent that he is regularly invited to direct operas but, in his films, Beresford's sensitivity to music frequently leads him away from including obvious musical cues. Andrew Ford visited the composer in his Sydney home for a typically candid conversation about music in film and why there's far too much of it.

Tuesday 17

10.05am  Ennio Morricone
Real Player Windows Media
Ennio Morricone's music features in more than 400 films and he's created some of the most recognisable sounds in motion pictures. Andrew Ford visited the composer at his apartment and found him to be increasingly frank and opinionated throughout their recording session.

Monday 16

10.05am  Peter Weir
Real Player Windows Media
Many of Peter Weir's films have truly entered the popular consciousness, from The Cars That Ate Paris to Dead Poets' Society to Master and Commander, and the soundtracks to his movies have often become independently successful.
