WSA Film Music Days: Creative Partnership Talk with Elliot Goldenthal and Julie Taymor

Immediately following his one-on-one Composer’s Talk, Elliot Goldenthal shares the stage with director Julie Taymor, his artistic and life partner, to discuss their flourishing collaborations. Since their first project in the late 1990s, they have worked together on several award-winning films and have mutually reinforced each other's artistry. Looking back on the key moments of their decades spanning partnership, Goldenthal and Taymor illuminate the work process that was at the heart of acclaimed films like Titus, The Tempest and Frida, which earned them two Academy Awards in 2002, including Best Original Score.
