For its 5th edition, the Festival de cinéma jeune public is held at the Musée du Quai Branly, offering enthusiasts a unique exploration of music in cinema. From October 21 to 29, this free event is open to the public with advance booking, and invites them to two daily screenings, at 11am and 3pm.
The festival highlights films that have marked the history of cinema through their remarkable use of music. From silent films to musical sound effects, mythical soundtracks and musicals, we invite you to take a journey through different countries and eras. Works in which music is not only heard, but also experienced visually.
The films on offer illustrate how music has shaped cinematic storytelling, whether through homage, with musical characters as in Liz and the Bluebird, or through the collaboration of renowned musicians such as Phil Harris and Louis Prima in The Jungle Book. Other films, such as Le Chant de la mer, depict the identity of a country or culture through its music.
In cinema, music is not just a matter of listening. It influences the movement of characters, sometimes transforming their acting into veritable choreography, as seen in Les Temps modernes. Musicals, another essential facet of this alliance, are also in the spotlight, with classics such as The Wizard of Oz and Les demoiselles de Rochefort.
The detailed program offers a wide range of selections, including The Jungle Book, Leo and Fred, and Billy Elliot, among many others. All screenings are carefully introduced and presented by Lola Devant and Clara Perrichon.
In short, this 5th edition of the Festival de cinéma jeune public is a golden opportunity for film and music lovers to discover or rediscover classics and rare gems that have left their mark on the industry.
