A film by Joseph Cedar, recounting the story of the last remaining soldiers on the Beaufort outpost on the eve of the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. Unlike the dramatic, sometimes bombastic soundtrack that accompanies most war films, Beaufort echoes with heavy, hypnotic electronic music that conveys the inherent claustrophobia of the place and circumstances. The soundtrack was composed, mixed and produced in Ishai’s studio to the sound of sirens and radio reports from the frontlines of the second Lebanon war, which took place at the same time the film was produced.
