Our journey began several years ago, sparked by director Urs Wyss witnessing the disappearance of glaciers in his native Switzerland. For a filmmaker who grew up next to a glacier and ventured inside glaciers for his films, the change was devastating to witness.
The Last Symphony is a production by Avocado Productions (Switzerland). Director Urs Wyss and writer and creative producer Olga Rozanova are currently developing the film together — building a story told not through talking heads but through stunning 360° visuals, music, sound and the voices of the landscapes themselves.
The Last Symphony is a co-production between Switzerland, United Kingdom and Germany, with a stellar assembly of UK creative contributors: Emmy-winning composer Nainita Desai (For Sama, The Reason I Jump, 14 Peaks), and Wounded Buffalo Sound Studios. On the Swiss side – an incredible line up of glaciologists, fulldome specialists and a long-term collaborator – DOP Christian Mülhauser.
