Lisa Montan (formerly Lisa Holmqvist) is a composer of music and sound art based in Stockholm, and the only female to have been awarded a Guldbagge Award for her 2015 score to the film Flocken.

Lisa Montans film music career has thus far been outstanding. Lisa is the only female to have received a Swedish Guldbagge Award (the Swedish Oscar equivalent), for her haunting 2015 score for the film “FLOCKEN”. It was her first feature film. For the same film, she was also awarded “Best Score” at Festival International du film d’Aubagne, as well as the Doris Filmgenipris. The jury described her work thusly: ”(Montan’s) compositions demand the audience’s full attention to the film’s thematics and core, whilst at the same time they are extremely unique and incredibly beautiful. ”Despite having earned these distinction, she remains a principled and elusive figure within the composition world, working only on projects she feels she can bring the whole of her spirit to. “To let the film guide you, the answer is already there. I just need to ask to ask the film “who are you? ”A true multi disciplinarian, Lisa has brought her same intensity to visual mediums, working for with costume and set design in film and theatre as well as collaborations with writers and tactile / visual artists. “To me it’s all communication, it’s all part of the same story.” Says Lisa. “I don’t see the difference between mediums... it’s all a way to try to be human. Where is it ok to be human?”
