Filmic, our annual look at the creative connections across music and film in partnership with Colston Hall and St George's Bristol, kicks off with a season of films scored by Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood.

Musician Jonny Greenwood has always received generous and richly deserved kudos for his work in crafting Radiohead’s endlessly innovative brand of post-rock. But his musical finesse and dexterity with varying sounds and genres has in recent years been rightly garnering recognition in his film scores. Intricate and innovative, this reserved but hugely talented multi-instrumentalist clearly has the vision and an ear suited to the world of cinema.

Having first stepped into soundtrack composing for the British documentary Bodysong back in 2003, the forging of a spectacularly potent working relationship with Paul Thomas Anderson with There Will be Blood in 2007, this and the pair's subsequent collaborations has revealed Greenwood's growing confidence as an expert orchestral craftsman. Much more than a nascent side career to his work with Radiohead his increasingly adventurous classical compositions suggest a composer very close to mastering his discipline. A musician capable of shaping his work to larger projects and shading it with ear catching detail.

In conjunction with a screening at Colston Hall on Tue 7 Feb of There Will Be Blood, featuring a live performance of Greenwood’s ground-breaking score by the London Contemporary Orchestra, our Sunday Brunches in February will showcase this incredible musician's most recent compositions for the big screen. Including his three other collaborations Paul Thomas Anderson on The Master (Sun 19 Feb), Inherent Vice (Sun 26 Feb) and their most recent musical odyssey Junun (Sun 5 Feb); as well as Greenwood's more sombre, introspective work on Norwegian Wood (Sun 5 Feb) and the muted tones he brought to Lynne Ramsay’s harrowing and exquisite We Need To Talk About Kevin (Sun 12 Feb). Be sure to tune in.
