Todd Gilchrist editor Composer Nicolas Godin is part of the creative team responsible for “Fire of Love,” the Oscar-nominated documentary directed by Sara Dosa about volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft.

As one half of the electronic group Air, he’s no stranger to collaboration: between 1995 and 2016, he and partner Jean-Benoit Dunckel released six albums and two soundtracks that sold millions of copies and earned them worldwide accolades as the downtempo counterparts of French contemporaries like Daft Punk.

But even if he and Dunckel haven’t recorded anything completely new together since “Music for Museum,” their work for a 2014 art project at France’s Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, the sound they created lives on just as vividly in their solo work, echoing the lush cinematic aesthetic they first premiered on their debut LP “Moon Safari.” Just weeks after the 25th anniversary of “Moon Safari,” and ahead of the BAFTAs, where “Fire of Love” competed for the best documentary prize, Godin spoke to Variety about the joys — and necessities — of collaboration, including what that means for the future of Air after an almost 10-year hiatus. Congratulations on the nomination for best documentary.

Have you had an opportunity to celebrate with the rest of the team? I’m going to meet the team in London next weekend, because we’re going there for the BAFTAs, the British Film awards.
