As the composer for Heartbreak, an art-house film directed by Jessica Vaturi, I crafted a poignant soundtrack that complements its unique blend of narrative and documentary elements. Shot in black and white, the film features mimes and dancers, weaving a powerful artistic portrayal of the events of October 7 in Israel. Interspersed with interviews of pogrom victims, the film balances raw emotion with evocative visuals. My compositions, blending classical and contemporary influences, underscore the film’s emotional depth, enhancing both its poetic performances and its sobering documentary segments.
