Electroacoustic compositions on experimental short films.
This screening is the culmination of the work carried out during the seminar on experimental film and sound composition, organized at GMEM for students from the Conservatory, the Cité de la Musique, and La Satis.
Ten experimental films are featured in the program, made between 1930 and the present day by filmmakers from different continents representing various schools and approaches to experimental filmmaking.
The seminar participants created electroacoustic compositions that took into account elements of the film such as themes, textural relationships, plasticity, the synergy between film and music, and synchronicities...
During this seminar, students explored the general concepts underlying the relationship between film and music, focusing on experimental films that place particular emphasis on music and sound design. Based on an analysis of tools used for composition, the teaching approach is centered on two main areas: the technological dimension of musical/sound composition for experimental cinema, and the extra-musical analysis of themes addressed in the films.
