Raphael Fimm is a German film composer, orchestrator and arranger based in Vienna, Austria.

His dozens of film credits include over 10 feature-length films, such as 2022’s The Fire Cats, the 2019 South African romantic comedy Zulu Wedding, and 2017’s The Sunrise Storyteller. And among the many short films he’s scored, notable is 2023's L'Hypermnésique, an intimate, emotive tale starring Emmy-nominated actor Bernard Farcy and Agathe Natanson-Marielle.

Raphael is recognized for innovative and highly sophisticated orchestral writing and arranging, memorable, singable themes and motivic long-form writing for cinema, and for his extensive experience working with live ensembles, including full-sized orchestras. His music works beautifully as underscore while effortlessly retaining narrative coherence when performed as concert music or when experienced on a soundtrack album.

He is also an accomplished pop music producer and arranger, having created arrangements for pop songs placed in films by UK singer-songwriters Katey Brooks and Emaé, and arrangements for Austrian singer-songwriter Nana Falkner.
