Music documentary The World Makes Music puts the audience in the spotlight. The beauty of non-Western music through the eyes and ears of the audience takes center stage in the music documentary by filmmaker Margriet Jansen. Performances by top artists from around the world are interspersed with personal stories from enthusiasts and fans in the Netherlands. The documentary *De Wereld maakt Muziek* premieres on Thursday, September 22, at the Netherlands Film Festival in Utrecht. Music films usually focus on musicians or composers. In the documentary *De Wereld maakt Muziek*, the audience's experience takes center stage, in this case at world music concerts. In the late 1970s, this term was introduced as an umbrella term for music from non-Western countries featuring genres other than the usual European and American ones. The artistic quality and vibrant energy of the performances by top non-Western musicians make a deep impression on the Dutch audience. “Once I had seen that concert, I knew my life would never be the same again,” says one of the main characters in the film. A large group of loyal fans subsequently found their way to the Dutch stages and festivals specializing in world music. Early enthusiasts speak in the documentary about the overwhelming impression musical phenomena made on them, such as the South African singer Miriam Makeba, the Pakistani global star Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, or the world-famous oud player Munir Bashir. Their extraordinary concerts became milestones in the lives of their Dutch admirers. A new generation is once again finding plenty of inspiration in the festive Balkan music of Taraf de Haidouks or in the Afro-Cuban mix of the Belgian Zap Mama. The danceable grooves of the popular Tuareg band Tinariwen can now be heard at many pop festivals, and the electronic beats and samples of the Canadian First Nations band A Tribe Called Red are once again a shining example for today's DJs and dance specialists. Currently, RASA in Utrecht is the last specialized venue for world music in the Netherlands. After forty years, its continued existence is under severe pressure. That is why the documentary *De Wereld maakt Muziek* (The World Makes Music) comes at the right moment. The countless music excerpts in the film demonstrate the power of non-Western music, and the passionate admirers prove that the love for the universal language of music remains undiminished. On Thursday, September 22, the film premieres at the Netherlands Film Festival in the Wolff City 1 theater in Utrecht.

Do you want to learn everything about fantastic sound and a whole new audience experience through Immersive Sound in Dolby Atmos? Then come to the seminar organized by the VCA (Association of Sound Professionals) on Saturday, September 24, about 'Immersive Sound'. Immersive Sound is a term that describes new '3D surround sound formats', which use dozens of speakers distributed throughout the room to enhance the listening experience. One of the parties offering this new sound format is Dolby Atmos. For instance, the Dutch film 'Holland – Natuur in de Delta' was already mixed in Dolby Atmos. Will this format become the new standard? During the seminar, questions will be discussed such as: What does immersive sound have to offer? What are the pitfalls? And what can we do with it in the Netherlands? These questions are discussed by Graham Daniel and Adam Daniel (UK) from Point1Post, among others. This father and son from England are the two re-recording mixers for the film 'Holland – Natuur in de Delta'. Graham Daniel has over 40 years of experience in post-production and has worked with leading directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Ridley & Tony Scott, and Danny Boyle. He has mixed over 150 feature films and received 4 BAFTA nominations. His son, Adam Daniel, has been a Re-Recording Mixer for 16 years and learned the trade under the tutelage of Ray Merrin (The Shining, Alien). He has over 100 films to his name and is currently also active as a sound editor. Peter Oskam and Erik Langhout will also join to share their experiences regarding the Dutch part of the sound design for 'Holland – Nature in the Delta'. The moderator of the program is Jaim Sahuleka (Chairman of the VCA).
