Autumn One: SoFT Filmmakers

Welcome to the Sounds of Fylm show, hosted by Professor Neil Fox from Falmouth University’s Sound/Image Cinema Lab. In this episode you will find the on-stage conversation recorded at the October 2026 event, Neil in conversation with colleagues, friends and fellow filmmakers who all share in common, employment in Falmouth University’s School of Film & Television. The conversation came half-way through an evening of six short films presented by Neil, Harry Faint, Rachael Jones, Paul Mulraney, Joe Inman, Julian Konczak, Dean Puckett and, sadly unavailable on the night, Brett Harvey. Music in the show comes from some recent watching Neil has enjoyed, a live score event of Mark Jenkin’s Rose of Nevada at Hall for Cornwall in Truro by the Cornish Sound Unit, the very fun Bullet Train (Leitch, 2022), and a brilliant documentary about Jason Molina [Songs: Ohia, Magnolia Electric Co.] – Tommy Nickoloff’s You Fuckers Figure it Out: A Jason Molina Ghost Story (2026). Also, in preparation for the November screening of Simon Aeppli’s Operation Bogeyman (2025) at the Taproom on the 24th November, about folk horror and the Troubles in the North of Ireland, Neil played a couple of tracks by Belfast’s premier film composer, the peerless David Holmes. Enjoy, and see you back at the Taproom on November 24th 2026 [Neil’s birthday!], Kernow’s finest CinéBar, for a screening of Simon Aeppli’s Operation Bogeyman [2026].
