Anne Teikari is a film composer based in the Netherlands.

Anne’s approach to film music stems from what the people in the story need. She dives into the inner world of the characters and takes them by the hand with her music. This can mean music ranging from a fragile lullaby to hardcore techno.

Her latest works include the feature film Joe Speedboot (2026), composed in collaboration with Job de Jong, and the Golden Calf-winning short documentary How to Catch a Butterfly (2026). In 2024, she won the New Talent award at the BUMA Music in Media Awards for her music in the documentary Black Joy, and in 2025 her score for the film Pocket Change was nominated for best soundtrack at the Shortcutz Amsterdam Annual Awards.

Alongside her film work, Anne makes invisible films: live audiovisual performances, in which the narrative is constructed entirely through text, instrumental music, and sound design. Through this concept Anne investigates listening as a shared emotional experience, and words as a way of creating cinema instead of moving image. The first invisible film, Jakob, was performed in Helsinki, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam (2022–2023); the second, womanhood, premiered at Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam in 2024.

Beyond composing, Anne gives lessons on musical storytelling and collaboration in filmmaking. Before pursuing her career in film music, she worked as a musicologist and music journalist in Finland.
