Description
What if you came back to listen to some film music and make your own cinema?
On July 5, the festival invites composers who, under the baton of Chloé Dufresne, will remind you of the unforgettable music written to accompany images, shots, dollies and zooms.
These composers are familiar to you, but you may not know their names. There's Max Steiner, the pioneer who may well have invented the genre with such films as King Kong, Gone with the Wind and Casablanca. James Horner, on the other hand, wrote the scores for Avatar and Titanic. John Williams? Remember him: Star Wars, of course, E.T., Jaws and many others. And then, the great classics of the previous century, those who wrote for the cinema without knowing it: Verdi, Mahler, Tchaikovsky.
As for Ennio Morricone, we owe him dozens of scores for Bertolucci, Pasolini and, of course, Sergio Leone: who has forgotten The Good, the Bad and the Ugly?
Once Upon a Time in the West? Treat yourself to a beautiful white night on the black screen of the Montpellier night sky!
