Invicta.Música.Filmes
Event
In a good movie session, before the arrival of sound films, the music was performed live. This experience is not only relived but also updated in the cine-concerts performed in the 8th edition of Invicta.Música.Filmes, with new music written for two recently restored silent films. J'Accuse, a pacifist film by French filmmaker Abel Gance, is accompanied by a soundtrack created by his compatriot Philippe Schoeller and will be premiered in Portugal, by Orquestra Sinfónica. A few days later, the Remix Ensemble and Digitópia present the result of the challenge that Casa da Música posed to the composer from Porto, Igor C. Silva, to create a score for a Portuguese silent film from 1927, the crime film O Táxi Nº 9297 by Reinaldo Ferreira, a journalist better known as Repórter X. The soundtracks of some of the best-known films in history are featured in the concert of Banda Sinfónica Portuguesa, including music by Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone and John Williams. The opening of the festival is a fascinating A Trip to the Moon through the lens of a pioneer of French cinema, Georges Méliès, a science fiction from 1902 also presented in a cine-concert with new music created here at Casa da Música by members of Digitópia.
