Emilio’s music is as much a part of the heart of my movies as the script or the actors. It is omnipresent, haunting, and an indelible part of the experience. He composes the themes before I start pre-production, so every creative department is inspired by his melodies. Instant classics, all of them. Music and stories in themselves, without having to put a movie around them.

Emilio is a towering figure in film scoring in Argentina. His work in timeless classics like Tiempo de Revancha (arguably the best local film ever made), Ultimos Días de la Victima and Un lugar en el Mundo was groundbreaking and changed the way movies were made in his native country. His ongoing collaboration with Juan José Campanella in both TV series and feature films creates a dynamic and marvelous team that includes the Academy Award winning The Secret in Their Eyes, four other movies and three TV shows. In a nutshell, Emilio´s work has the key to thrill, seduce, engage and create deep feelings in the audience. Everything that we, filmmakers all around the world, do look for.

What a director wants from a composer is passion. They have to care. That's Emilio. He's as invested in the movie as the filmmaker is; he pulls every note out of his soul... And you can hear it.

Working with Emilio is not only fantastic but also super fun. He is one of the best musicians of the world, he proposes great original ideas, listens to suggestions and adapts - which makes the process truly collaborative. His sensibility is key for any movie or tv series. He is truly a creative genius!

I have been honored by Emilio‘s friendship for nearly 30 years. He was writing the music to a movie that later became a nominee for an Academy Award. And he was so casual about it. That’s Emilio: he can be writing a real masterpiece and nothing in his demeanor makes you realize it. From that moment on, he wrote the music for several movies that I produced. And each one of them is a masterpiece, of course! I am so proud to have Emilio not only as a friend but as a permanent collaborator!

Emilio was a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to many more scores together.

Every film that I make with Emilio Kauderer is a new world to explore and enjoy. His versatility, talent and humanity make him an exceptional composer. His music and art transcend cinema.
