Edition 2017
This year's Film Music Seminar focusses on the different roles of jazz music in films.
Is it the music genre of a specific ethnic group? Is it an essential aspect of crime films or musicals? What is its potential in films like Birdman? Is an orchestrated jazz theme still considered jazz? Or does jazz require a different form of cinema that centres around improvisation? Dr. Martine Huvenne and Peter Vermeersch moderate a debate with David Shire, Walter Murch, Joe Kraemer and Terence Blanchard.
