THE UNCONVENTIONAL WORK OF ALEXIS LANGLOIS
2 Mai, FRI, 16:30, Culturgest | Sala Debates
Alexis Langlois started making films by filming their friends, confronting their own personal demons and expressing a tenacious rebellion. This resulted in a series of short films that gradually outlined Langlois’ political, satirical and poetic glittercore signature. After the success of the shorts, Terror, Sisters ! (FIFIB’s Grand Prize 2019) and The Demons of Dorothy (Locarno’s Silver Leopard 2021), which screened at over a hundred film festivals around the world, Alexis made their feature film debut with the musical fantasy Queens of Drama (Cannes Critics’ Week in 2024).
MUSIC COPYRIGHT AND THE USE OF MUSIC IN AUDIOVISUAL CONTENT
3 Mai, SAT, 16:30, Culturgest | Sala Debates
In collaboration with the Creative Europe Information Centre MEDIA Portugal, we will be organising a masterclass moderated by Susana Costa Pereira (CIEC) with guests Arturo Olea and Peter Stephens from Music Library &SFX (Spain), who will talk about music rights and the use of music in audiovisual content, explaining all the elements to take into account when using music for optimal production of audiovisual content. Specific support in this area will also be discussed.
Brief: Music is undoubtedly a fundamental element in the creation of audiovisual content, its expressive and narrative function giving it a crucial role. To create the optimum score various factors come into play: context, time, budget, rights, different musical resources. In this talk, we will offer invaluable information, insight and advice on the use of music in cinematic and audiovisual production.
