AWARDS: One World Media - shortlist 2025, Best Arts & Experimental film - Sunderland Shorts Film Festival 2025

"Working with you has been an absolute delight and the soundtrack you produced adds so much to the film - more than I ever dared to hope. I really hope we can work together again.”

Maren Hahnfeld- Producer/Director

“The music was absolutely perfect...subtle but enhancing, not intrusive...beautiful, sorrowful, poignant & hopeful. The evocation of borders & how life can change on a dime…it is just unimaginable”

Carrie Supple. Founder of “Journey to Justice”: journeytojustice.org.uk

We have released a track from the film on Bandcamp called "PAPER BALLERINA”…you can listen to and purchase a digital copy here :

"We used instruments & sound palettes we felt reflected the country, the people, the beautiful artwork & the sense of connection to the past. The clarinet & chalumeau melodies were inspired by heartfelt Syrian music we listened to while researching for the film soundtrack. The goat bells we used are intended as a gentle reminder of how things were in peaceful times…bittersweet” Catherine Shrubshall
