The Soundtrack of Cultures in Film and Television

Music plays a pivotal role in shaping the narratives of film and television, but how often do we consider the cultural implications of the soundtracks we hear? This discussion will focus on the use of music from various cultures in visual media, examining whether it serves as a respectful homage or veers into appropriation. We'll hear from composers, music supervisors, and cultural critics about their experiences and perspectives on the ethical considerations involved in selecting and using cultural music. Join us as we explore the melodies that accompany our favorite stories and the responsibility that comes with them.
