“Festival de Cannes 2026 - Palme d'Or”



Mihai and Lisbet Gheorghiu, a Romanian-Norwegian Pentecostal couple, move with their five children from Romania to Norway after Mihai's parents die, seeking closeness to Lisbet's family, who share their faith. Settling in an isolated coastal village, they form a bond with their neighbors, the Halbergs. When their daughter Elia appears at school with bruises, suspicions arise about the family's strict religious upbringing. Fjord explores clashing worldviews, conformity, tolerance and the boundaries of freedom and intimacy.

"Working with the music for Fjord was quite a different task than usual. All the music is diegetic meaning that it is playing in the scenes and the music had to fit the different characters. Mia, the neighbor and lawyer, is listening to this spiritual music all the time. The kids have one specific pop song that they keep returning to. And Frida, the progressive young teacher also has her soundtrack. So many different directions. And non of it could sound like a film score.

I had to go back to my time as a songwriter and write songs more than cinematic cues, and that was a fun revisit to work from there.

Cristian Mungiu started our first meeting by saying; I don’t use music in my films. But at the end of the day there is a lot of music hidden in the different scenes. I am very proud to have been a part of such a beautiful but yet tough story. I hope the music can get a nice life out there on its own......."

MUSICA SANCTA Best Chant from Jerusalem Monastery Les plus beaux chants monastiques de terre sainte -         Musica Sancta 1 – Saint Mark Syriak Convent Choir – Album “The Offering of the Apostles” https://itunes.apple.com/hk/album/the-offering-of-the-apostles/id1294373708?l=en   Musica Sancta Collection N. 1 on Itunes La petite communaute Syrienne Orthodoxe de Jerusalem peut a juste titre se vanter d'etre l'heritiere de l'Eglise des Apotres. Utilisant un dialecte arameen quasiment identique a celui que parlaient Jesus et ses disciples; ayant conserve, a travers deux millenaires d'epreuves, nombre d'elements judeo-chretiens, particulierement dans sa liturgie, cette eglise heroique nous renvoie l'image la plus fidele possible des premieres generations chretiennes. The small Syrian Orthodox community of Jerusalem may rightly claim to be the heir of the first Church of the Apostles. Using a dialect of Aramaic a...

High Forces on Spotify It is always a wonderful experience working with Mr. Oxide Pang, because he is very precise with his vision and direction with regards to the music score. It is sometimes not easy to describe music using words, because after all, music sometimes is the only way to paint feelings and emotions for which there are no words. Both he and I had similar visions of the music, which worked to our advantage in producing the score. We are both very passionate about our work; he, for his film, and me, for the music, which makes for an ideal collaborative experience.
