The Sunlit Night Soundtrack Trailer
Enis Rotthoff who scored David Wnendt’sThe Sunlit Nightin the composer’s fourth collaboration with the filmmaker. “to create a palette of sounds and instruments that could reflect the beautiful nature and scenery of the film’s location (Norway), story and heart, Rotthoff opted for a combination of vintage and cutting-edge synthesizers, custom-built instruments and a Chamber String Orchestra,” according to the official description for the soundtrack.
“Creation is based on an inner calling, and that inner calling has to get out,” Rotthoff said in the trailer forThe Sunlit Nightsoundtrack, which shows shots of the orchestra side-by-side shots from the film. “The true satisfying moment for me in the project for me was the moment we understand the character in a completely different way once the music does its part.”
The Sunlit Nightstars Jenny Slate as “an aspiring painter [who] meets eccentric locals and a fellow New Yorker while working on a barn in Norway.” The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2019 where it was met with mixed reviews. The film hit VOD on July 29, 2025.
