“On each film and every series, I strive to uncover its true inner musical voice. What I treasure most is the diversity this profession offers—not only in terms of story, genre, and style, but also in the opportunity to work across so many different cultures and languages.”

BIOGRAFI:
Flemming Nordkrog is a Danish composer based in Paris.
As a teenager, he became fascinated with cinema, and in his early twenties he began scoring films for graduating students at the National Film School of Denmark.
In 2002, Nikolaj Arcel’s graduation film Woyzeck’s Last Symphony brought him to France, where he started working on short films. In 2003–2004, he scored his first three Danish feature films, including King’s Game by Arcel.
To date, Flemming has been credited on more than 100 feature films, TV series, and documentaries from productions across the world.
His sound can be described as organic and cinematic, always retaining the rich melodic and sonic clarity needed to capture the emotional language of a story.
From the voicing of a close-miked woodwind ensemble to an upfront distorted cello or the breadth of a full string orchestra, Flemming stays firmly connected to the human element and to the essential role sound and music play in film.
Flemming’s eclectic approach and ability to orchestrate a score with a broad palette of instruments can be heard in recent productions such as Teona Mitevska’s Mother (Venice Orizzonti 2025), Nabil Ayouch’s Everybody Loves Touda (Cannes Official Selection 2024), Steffi Niederzoll’s Seven Winters in Tehran (Berlinale 2023), and Matias Mariani’s Shine Your Eyes (Berlinale 2020), for which he received the 2021 HARPA Nordic Film Composer Award.
Recent works include scores for the pan-European TV series Kabul (Olga Chajdas & Kasia Adamik) and the French series Mémoire Vive (Arnaud Malherbe), as well as Lisa Aschan’s Netflix comedy Thank You, I’m Sorry, Kaspar Munk’s series Den Gode Stemning (Secrets), Mathias Gokalp’s L’établi, Said Belktibia’s Hood Witch (Roqya), Philippe Lioret’s Sixteen (16 ans) and Manele Labidi’s Arab Blues (Un divan à Tunis).
Other notable recent score highlights include Max Kestner’s feature doc Little Galaxies (for which Flemming won the 2022 Carl Prisen and picked up a Camille Award nomination), and TV series such as HBO’s Kamikaze by Kaspar Munk, Moloch by Arnaud Malherbe for ARTE, and hit success Follow The Money produced by DR Fiktion.
In 2010, he was nominated for the HARPA-award for the Danish feature film”Velsignelsen” (The Blessing) by Heidi Maria Faisst.
Other important collaborations include work with Max Kestner, Erick Zonca, Mathieu Vadepied, Søren Kragh-Jacobsen, Hella Joof, Søren Balle, Vibeke Muasya, and Mikkel Munch-Fals.
