Our summer cycle will be festive or not. Sound and image, song and dance, instrument and breathing, strings and gestures: so many possible combinations to express what cinema and music can achieve and express together. Musicals, concert films, catchy music. Jazz, classical, contemporary, disco, punk... Revolt and enchantment, distress and emphasis, joy and rhythm, melancholy and bass, laughter and stridency: diverse expressions characterizing cinema and music's historical alliance, will definitely make us fly, dream, dance!
From the 30's to the present day and across all possible genres, this cycle aims to open our minds at a time when we most need it. The first week of July will be an eventful one, as the cycle will open with several evenings in cabaret mode, where we will present for the first time concert films produced in Quebec during the confinement, with the participation of major artists of the current music scene: Klô Pelgag, Marie Davidson and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
Clint Eastwood at the top of his game.
The true story of Charlie Parker, a jazz legend.
Clint Eastwood
Clint Eastwood is an American actor and film director. After achieving success in the Western TV series Rawhide, Eastwood rose to international fame with his role as the "Man with No Name" in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy of spaghetti Westerns during the mid-1960s, and as the antihero cop in the Dirty Harry films throughout the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, among others, have made Eastwood an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. In 1968, he became a producer through his company Malpaso Productions, and directed his first film, Play Misty for Me (1971). He also directed films such as Unforgiven (1992), A Perfect World (1993), Mystic River (2003), Million Dollar Baby (2004), Gran Torino (2009), American Sniper (2014) and The Mule (2018). Initially known for his roles as tragic antiheroes who right wrongs in violent action films and westerns, he later took on more touching roles in films marked by a certain classicism, influenced by the classic cinema of John Ford and Howard Hawks. He is also renowned for his comedies. His longevity, depth, and numerous critical and commercial successes in both acting and directing have made him a major figure in American cinema. He has received many awards, including four Academy Awards, five Golden Globes, three César Awards, and the Palme d'honneur at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
