Cannes Soundtrack

ABOUT

From May 17 to 28, Festival de Cannes celebrates its Seventh Birthday. Over the last 70th editions, The Film Festival gave us the biggest talents from cinema industry. From Rosselini, Welles, De Sica to Clouzot, Bunuel, Godard, Fellini and Visconti…, Cannes carried them to the edge of film heritage as cult directors.

Film soundtracks are fully a part of this heritage, precisely because Music and Image are indivisibe. Much more than that, soundtracks immerses spectators in the realm of imagination and merges with the soundtrack of our lives. As a redolence, music imbues our memories and our imagination throughout films.

Cannes Soundtrack was founded as an echo of the Festival, in the aim of setting up Music & Cinema and rewarding the best soundtrack, and their composers, among the Official Competition.
