Hi everyone,
Last spring I participated in the 12th edition of the Zurich Film Music Competition. Unfortunately I was not selected among the three finalists but I am equally proud of the soundtrack I wrote, and you?
Leave me your feedback and good viewing :)
Directors of the film: Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby
Who is the Flying Sailor?
Quoting the site of the directors:
In 1917 two ships collided in the Halifax Harbour, causing the largest accidental explosion in history. Among the tragic stories of the disaster is the remarkable account of a sailor who, blown skyward from the docks, flew a distance of 2 kilometres before landing uphill, naked and unharmed. The Flying Sailor is a contemplation of his journey.
Quoting wikipedia:
Charles Mayers was an officer aboard the SS Middleham Castle, a ship moored at a wharf in Halifax Harbour on the morning of the explosion. Mayers was blow from the ship's deck to land on Fort Needham Hill overlooking the harbour, injured and naked but alive. Tilby and Forbis were inspired by the story when they encountered it on a visit the to Halifax Explosion exhibit at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax.
