How can I find out more about the great music and inspiring images in the video that starts each screening?
The music was composed by Jacques Blackstone. He was commissioned in the late 90’s from The Banff Centre to write a theme for the festival. Jacques brilliantly composed this piece that has moved people worldwide. Please visit his website for a list of accomplishments, credits, albums, and contact information. The “voice” for the intro is provided by Richard Armstrong, a New York-based teacher and performer who conducts International Voice Workshops at the Banff Centre. The film clips come from the films that are entered in each year’s festival (view a list of films that were used in the video).
