CULTURE HOT … Sven Grünberg: the film composer must be prepared to bear financial losses for the sake of the artistic whole

Estonian composer Sven Grünberg discussed the potential for spiritual growth inherent in his work as a film composer. He noted the importance of understanding when to step back and allow others to take the lead, and the necessity of being adaptable when required. This Tuesday at the Venice International Film Festival, the posthumous film “A Call of God,” composed of music by Sven Grünberg, was screened.

The collaboration stemmed largely from the efforts of an unknown YouTube user who infringed upon the copyrights of both Grünberg and the late Korean director Kim Ki-duk. Grünberg initially encountered Kim Ki-duk’s work through the director’s 2003 film, “Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter… and Spring Again.”
