Welcome to the Film Festival!

For almost two decades, Danny Elfman has masterfully scored the darker side of Hollywood. From monsters to super heros, innocence to malevolence, Elfman adds a mystical touch that distinguishes him from other newcomers of the 1980's and early 1990's. Born into a family of artists, Elfman has been known the longest as a flamboyant member of the rock band "Oingo Boingo," to which he belonged from 1979 to 1995. Mostly due to his connection with director Tim Burton, Elfman experimented in film scoring in the mid-1980's. After several blockbuster hits both on the screen and in record stores, Elfman established himself as a renegade personality in Hollywood's otherwise conservative film scoring community.
