What if you came back to listen to some film music while creating your own movie in your mind? 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, tracking shots, and zooms. These composers are familiar to you, even if you may not know their names. There is Max Steiner, the pioneer, the one who may have invented the genre with films such as King Kong, Gone with the Wind, and Casablanca. James Horner is the composer behind the scores for Avatar and Titanic. John Williams? Remember: Star Wars, of course, E.T., Jaws, and many others. And then there are the great classics of the previous century, those who wrote for 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 sleepless night on the black screen of Montpellier's night sky!
