James was commissioned to write the official trailer music for the 32nd FILMKUNSTFEST MV in Schwerin (DE), May 2023. Each year the festival features a guest country (“gastland”), from which new and exciting films are featured prominently. For 2023, the country was Norway - which is reflected in the trailer and its music. The festival featured some of the best short films from the 2023 “Films from the North” program of the Tromsø International Film Festival as part of this collaboration.

In addition to social media promotion, the music and trailer played at the beginning of every film screening at the festival - over 40 showings across 5 cinema screens. High resolution audio can also be played below:
