Fischer honored for music to "Trapped"
Zurich composer and arranger Thomas Fischer has been awarded the 2013 Fondation Suisa Film Music Prize for his music for the thriller "Trapped". The award was presented at the 66th Locarno International Film Festival.
For the film "Trapped", a commission from director and screenwriter Philippe Weibel, 40-year-old Thomas Fischer has realized his first complete film score.
The music maintains the tension from the beginning to the end. The carefully selected, repetitive elements also allow the mysticism of the story to be experienced emotionally, according to the justification for Fischer's choice.
The Fondation Suisa awards its Film Music Prize, endowed with CHF 15,000, annually. The decision is made by a jury of experts. The award is presented at the Locarno International Film Festival.
