commissions for film music followed soon, resulting in refined soundtracks such as 'never again forever' and 'another road home' for israeli film maker danae elon; the wim wenders produced 'voodoo, mounted by the gods', directed by alberto venzago; the brazilian film 'sobras em obras' about geraldo de barros, directed by michel favre; and 'aline' by swiss/indian filmmaker kamal musale.
