All Quiet on the Western Front tells the gripping story of a young German soldier on the Western Front of World War I. Paul and his comrades experience first-hand how the initial euphoria of war turns into desperation and fear as they fight for their lives, and each other, in the trenches. The film from director Edward Berger is based on the world-renowned bestseller of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque. R | 158mins

Volker Bertelmann is an internationally acclaimed pianist, composer, and experimental musician. His score for Garth Davis’ Oscar-nominated film Lion, which he composed in collaboration with Dustin O’Halloran, was nominated for multiple awards, including the 2016 Oscar for Best Original Score, the 2016 Golden Globes for Best Original Score, Best Film Music at the 2016 British Academy Film Awards, or BAFTAs. He has provided music for several leading films and television series, including the score for Patrick Melrose, Showtime’s Emmy-and BAFTA nominated mini-series, and for Gunpowder, the HBO mini-series starring Kit Harington, and the 2020 film Ammonite, co-composed with O’Halloran, which received a spot on the Academy Awards shortlist for Best Original Score. In 2022, he scored All Quiet on the Western Front for Netflix, the official Oscar entry for Germany, and War Sailor, both of which were official selections at the Toronto International Film Festival.

A uniquely innovative pianist, who in his solo work goes by the name Hauschka, Bertelmann has worked with, among others. the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra, where he was the artist in residence, and the Grammy-winning violinist Hilary Hahn. In 2018, he accepted an invitation to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
