Méliès / Ciné-concert

Méliès / Ciné-concert

Georges Méliès is the first magician of the cinema. le premier magicien du cinéma. He invented a dreamlike world of which Le Voyage dans la Lune was the crown jewel, before in a day of despair burning all its film in a attempt of destructing its work.

By a miracle, 88 original film jus surfaced again. A wonderful discovery, an international race against oblivion and the occasion to discover in world premiere these works set in music.

Twenty short-films will be set in music by the student composers of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris.
The first step of the cinematic art illustrated by a new generation of composers.
