AWARDS CONCERT<\/p>\n

French composer Alexandre Desplat will appear for a traditional film music concert during the second part of the World Soundtrack Academy award ceremony. Last year, he scored eight feature films: the Oscar winning \u201cArgo\u201d by Ben Affleck, \u201cZero Dark Thirty\u201d by Kathryn Bigelow, \u201cRise of the Guardians\u201d by Peter Ramsey, \u201cRenoir\u201d by Gilles Bourdos, \u201cReality\u201d by Matteo Garrone, \u201cDe Rouille et d\u2019Os\u201d by Jacques Audiard, \u201cMoonrise Kingdom\u201d by Wes Anderson and \u201cCloclo\u201d by Florent-Emilio Siri. This year\u2019s Cannes Film Festival programme featured two more films for which Desplat has written scores: \u201cVenus in Fur\u201d by Roman Polanski and \u201cZulu\u201d by J\u00e9r\u00f4me Salle.<\/p>\n

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FOR RIZ ORTOLANI<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Lifetime Achievement Award to be presented during the award ceremony of the WSA concert goes to the Italian composer Riz Ortolani, born in 1931 in Pesaro, Italy. Together with Ennio Morricone and the late Carlo Rustichelli and Nino Rota, Ortolani is one of the greats of Italian film music from the golden era of Italian cinema. While the best-known titles from his filmography may be entrenched in the Sixties and Seventies, in recent years, he has once again become a \u2018cult\u2019 composer thanks to Quentin Tarantino. Nicolas Winding Refn also played his part in the Ortolani revival. In his stylish thriller ‘Drive’, he introduced the most hypnotising song by the composer (performed by Ortolani\u2019s muse Katyna Ranieri) to new audiences: Oh My Love, originally written for the notorious exploitation classic ‘Goodbye Uncle Tom’ (1971) by G. Jacopetti.<\/p>\n

DISCOVERY AND PUBLIC CHOICE AWARD<\/p>\n

At the end of August, the Academy Board will announce the 5 nominees for the category \u2018Discovery of the Year 2013\u2019. In addition to the Awards presented by the Academy, film music fans around the world can vote for the best soundtrack of the year (see www.worldsoundtrackacademy.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n
