The aim of this seminar is to analyze the general concepts of the film & music relationship.
This relationship gives particular importance to musical and sound composition for experimental films.

The pedagogical approach will be based on the analysis of the compositional tools employed, which will be studied along two main axes:
- the technological dimension of musical/sound composition for experimental cinema;
- the extra-musical analysis of the themes addressed in the films.

Articulation of the seminar
The seminar will be structured around two types of sessions:
The first two sessions will be two screenings (each lasting 90 minutes) to show different types of experimental films, and will be accompanied by an explanation.
The next sessions will be practical sessions, aimed at accompanying participants in the electroacoustic composition of several experimental short films, subsequently created during a ciné-concert on May 3, 2024, opening the Propagations festival.

This seminar is open to all Platform partners.
The content is tailored to the needs of students from different institutions.
(The duration of the practical sessions may be conditioned by the number of registered participants).

Using compositions for experimental cinema, Javier Elipe Gimeno will address the different ways of composing and analyzing experimental cinema.
As well as the technological tools of composition, and how to create a link between the images in the film and the compositional tools to be used.
Short experimental films from the 1920s-1950s will be screened, on which seminar participants will have to compose, in preparation for the final screening on May 3, 2024.
