Cineuropa, IDFA 2023, “Critique : 2G”
“The music composed by Vuk Vukmanovic, as well as the closing piece from The Battle of Algiers by maestros Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai, provide the film with much-needed moments of respite. Through close-ups of his characters’ restless, dust-covered hands as they adjust their turbans or struggle to get a weak cell signal, Sayad transforms their gestures into choreography; he lightens them and frees them from the weariness of daily life. Like the bean plant that one of the gold prospectors cultivates in the desert, the characters in his film seek to survive in a place that, though hostile, remains, for them, the place they call home.”

Production expert: What Makes a Foley Session Perfect? Perspectives from Industry Pros:
“Artistry, a feel for the scene, and understanding the mood matter as much as, if not more than, microphones and acoustics. When talent meets the right conditions, the result speaks for itself. Sound designer Vuk Vukmanović puts it beautifully: “As for the creative aspect, it is always noticeable on delivery if the time was taken to craft a convincing performance through deliberate choice of surfaces, props and microphone type, polar pattern and distance, all chosen to complement the preexisting sound bed. Innovative ideas that contribute to character development and a sense of space certainly elevate a good Foley session to a great one. Regardless, the overall musicality and spectral complementarity of the Foley tracks remain major factors.””
