Austria in Hollywood - Komponieren für die Traumfabrik 2024

Directed by Barbara Weissenbeck

Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Hanns Eisler and Hans Julius Salter – driven out by the Nazi regime, these composers were able to gain a foothold in Hollywood and became pioneers of film music. The major film studios in the USA still use their epochal soundtracks, which are characterized by symphonic music. A young generation of Austrian musicians is continuing their work.
