From soundtracking the silent era, via 50s rock’n’roll and the ‘symphonic pop’ of Henry Mancini to iconic works by John Williams and Hans Zimmer, movies are unimaginable without music. Ahead of the London soundtrack festival its artistic director picks 10 scores that moved the dialThe music of cinema’s earliest years played a crucial role in how audiences – with a live pianist or organist soundtracking the silent movie – experienced the stories on screen. But it wasn’t until the advent of synchronised sound that they were guaranteed the same musical experience.Even that moment, widely regarded to be 1926’s Don Juan – an otherwise silent film – wasn’t a true soundtrack. Warner Bros used the Vitaphone system, essentially a recording on disc that was played with the picture. The same system was used for 1927’s The Jazz Singer, the first film for which voices were synchronised to the picture as well. Playing a disc to picture was unreliable, and it wasn’t long before music could be printed directly on to the celluloid of the film itself and the soundtrack proper was born. Continue reading...

Iran has unleashed a fresh wave of missile terror on Israel’s key port city of Haifa, triggering fears that Supreme Leader-in-waiting Mojtaba Khamenei is now targeting the country’s food and energy lifelines. Within just 12 hours, Haifa was hit twice: first, a deadly strike on an apartment building that killed at least two people and left others trapped in the rubble, and then a second morning barrage using a suspected cluster warhead that tore through streets, smashed vehicles and set cars on fire. Haifa isn’t just another city; it hosts a major oil refinery and the port that handles much of Israel’s food imports, turning every incoming missile into a direct threat to the country’s survival. As rescue teams claw through debris and rush between multiple impact sites in Haifa, Tel Aviv and Petah Tikva, the death toll and injury count continue to rise, even as officials warn more victims could still be buried under the wreckage. With U.S. President Donald Trump demanding that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz or “live in hell”, many are now asking if these escalating strikes on Haifa are Mojtaba’s brutal, calculated answer delivered in missiles instead of words.
