In Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, the ‘Protagonist’ journeys through a twilight world of international espionage armed with only one word – Tenet – fighting for the survival of the entire world on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real-time. Not time travel. Inversion. PG-13 | 151min

In a career spanning only 12 years, Ludwig Göransson has amassed an impressive resume in both the recording and motion picture industries, earning an Academy Award, an Emmy Award, multiple Grammy Awards and countless other nominations. After assisting Theodore Shapiro, Göransson got his first break scoring the NBC television series Community. This led to a collaboration with Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, on several studio albums including Because the Internet and Awaken, My Love. While pursuing his masters degree in film scoring at USC, Göransson met his other longtime collaborator, director Ryan Coogler. Göransson has since scored all of Coogler’s features: Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther. Göransson has also scored Venom and Pixar’s Inner Workings.

In 2019, Göransson earned multiple awards and nominations for Black Panther including a Golden Globe nomination, a Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack and an Academy Award for Best Original Score. He won two Grammys for the worldwide song sensation “This is America”, co-written and co-produced with Childish Gambino. 

Most recently, Göransson completed the score for Season 2 of The Mandalorian, LucasFilm’s first Star Wars live-action series helmed by director Jon Favreau, streaming exclusively on Disney+.  In September 2020, he won his first Emmy Award for his work on the series. Göransson also composed the music for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, which premiered in late summer 2020. In addition, he co-wrote and co-produced the songs for DreamWorks’ Trolls World Tour with Justin Timberlake.
