Multiple Oscar winner Walter Murch was a guest lecturer in Brane Zivkovic’s class Music for Film and Television last month. Mr. Murch, who edited sound on American Graffiti (1973) and The Godfather: Part II (1974), won his first Oscar for Apocolypse Now (1979). He won a double Oscar for sound and film editing for The English Patient (1996). This was his first visit to the Tisch School and NYU. His lecture about filmmaking, sound design, and music drew an audience filled with Tisch and non-Tisch students, as well as Tisch faculty.
Brane Zivkovic is a full-time faculty member in the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television. His course Music for Film and Television is offered through Tisch Open Arts in the spring. In this course students learn how to compose and create music for film, television, and media, and examine the relationship between the composer, director, and music editor.
