An Ton That (The Third Wife (2018), Ròm (2019), Song Lang (2018), Moonlight Shadow (2021), True Mothers (2020)) will share about his personal experience as a composer. How through the years, he has built a genre-crossing musical identity that intuitively blends Asian traditional elements with Western orchestration and contemporary textures — a musical "dialogue" between East and West that mirrors the transnational circuits of the films themselves.

An TON THAT (Composer)

An Ton That born in Paris to a family from Huế, Vietnam is a Vietnamese-French composer whose film scores have been central to the emergence of a new wave of Vietnamese and transnational Asian cinema. Beyond film, his work spans contemporary dance, orchestral works, popular music and installation art, with an identity and musical style that resist easy categorization.
