By the end of the 1960s, psychedelic counterculture permeated French cinema and its soundtracks. Through hallucinations, daydreams and disco scenes, cinema became the ground to push the boundaries of film music. This listening session, hosted by Stéphane Lerouge –  curator of the CAM Sugar French catalogue, founder of the Ecoutez le Cinema! series, and sound restoration expert – will explore how both accomplished composers (Claude Bolling, Philippe Sarde, Pierre Jansen) and self-taught geniuses (François de Roubaix) managed to blend pop and experimental music to invent a distinctively French take on psychedelia. It will be an opportunity to unveil numerous previously unreleased tracks, as well as to experience first-hand the sonic splendour of La Planète sauvage by Alain Goraguer, freshly restored: a pinnacle of European cinematic psychedelic music, whose spellbinding power remains intact half a century after its composition.
