The New Scottish Cinema

Ce superbe coffret 100 titres est un hymne à la musique Celte, il réunit les titres les plus fédérateurs et les plus emblématiques, remarquablement interprétées par le Graal Orchestra et le Dublin Screen Orchestra. Cette musique est de plus en plus présente autour de nous, car à côté des moments les plus fort : La Saint Patrick le 17 mars, et le festival Interceltique de Lorient début Août, elle infl uence et inspire de plus en plus d'artistes et contribue au succès de nombreuses musiques de fi lms. Le CD 5 de ce coffret est d'ailleurs entièrement consacré aux musiques de Cinéma.

Norman McLaren was a genius. That's not just my opinion, Picasso thought so too, as did Francois Truffaut. McLaren was an animator and experimental film maker who created works that destroyed the limits of what was thought possible through the medium of film. He would create animations by scratching shapes directly into the film emulsion, or use live models as stop-motion animation props, or create multiple exposures that used dozens of interlocking images. McLaren was the founding director of the National Film Board of Canada's animation division (a post he held for more than 40 years) and under his tutelage the NFB became the place for cutting-edge animation. Along the way hewon an Oscar, a Palm d'Or, and a zillion film festival awards.
The National Film Board has just released a stunning, seven-DVD set of McLaren's work, titled Norman McLaren: The Master's Edition.
