Austria, famous for classical music, has also made major contributions to film music. Classically trained composers like Max Steiner and Erich Wolfgang Korngold found success in Hollywood, shaping the genre despite many having to flee due to their Jewish heritage. The film traces this journey from silent films to Hollywood, including the creation of Vienna’s Synchronhalle for Nazi propaganda films.
