H Is For Hawk (Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch)

Nominated for the 2026 BAFTA Film Award Outstanding British Film H IS FOR HAWK is a soaring journey of the connection between people and nature and how it might be possible to reconcile loss through love Based on a true story and a memoir of the same name "From my earliest conversations with Philippa it was clear that the music for H Is For Hawk needed to mirror Helen's perspective both in her emotional life and in her relationship with nature What began as an intimate chamber idea grew into something far more expansive once I saw the footage of the goshawk flying and hunting "Working with the 12 Ensemble an unconducted string group we used unusual tunings extended techniques and organic sound manipulation to create a score that feels like it's breathing as unpredictable and alive as the hawk at the heart of the film " - Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch
