Biography
Olivier Militon

Musician, Composer and cinephile, Olivier Militon move towards his creative way by getting a Master Degree of of applied music on Visual Arts in 2009 (Master MAAAV).

I quickly became a film lover, I was carried away by the story, the staging. I didn’t “listen” to movies, in the sense that I didn’t pay a specific attention to music by dissociating it from the rest, I lived the cinema as a total experience, almost physical.

Audi talents Awards Finalist in 2011, Berlinale Talents (Masterclass by Howard Shore) and Emergence Cinema Laureate in 2015, he wins several european and international soundtracks prizes including the European Talent Award at the Soundtrack Cologne festival in 2011, a Jerry Goldsmith Awards in 2013, the Best Music for a Documentary at the International Film Music Festival FIMUCITE (Spain – 2019) and more recently an Honorable Mention for the Peer Raben Music Award (Soundtrack Cologne 2022).

I love in film music this particularity of flirting with many musical styles, travelling into different universes from one project to another: from orchestral to world music, from Jazz to electro ! This feeds my musical imagination in the service of the Story. The way we look at the narration is the central point of my creative process. I like to be devoted on a project, to take part in this collective adventure that is the film.

Author of Scores of more than forty films – including various multi-award-winning films – , he’s working without breaking on musical and Sound idents for France 3 TV channel, original documentaries Soundtracks including the last releases of award winning Director William Karel (published at Cezame Music Agency) or David Korn-Brzoza, Series and Feature films among which “In a whisper” directed by Heidi Hassan et Patricia Perez – Best Film at IDFA Amsterdam 2019 and nominated for the Premios Feroz – and more recently “The Virgin and Child” directed by Berivan Binevsa.

Each artistic collaboration is a source of discovery, sharing and exchange : these human encounters will carry the project and allow the birth of a film !
