Darius Milhaud was without doubt one of the most fertile composers of the 20th Century,leaving behind an extensive artistic legacy of nearly 450 Opuses that stands out as oneof the most original in French music of his time.

Before being recognized and accepted, many of his works caused scandal and gave riseto impassioned controversy due to their non-conformism and their pioneering character.He also came to prominence in the 1920s as the leading light in the "Groupe des Six".

His music, and more particularly his lyric works, express his greatest sources ofinspiration:- his attachment to popular roots, such as those of his native Provence, but also thosehe adopted in his encounters with other cultures, such as Brazilian folklore or jazz.- his religious faith, marked by the Jewish tradition of the Comtat Venaissin.- his humanist convictions, expressed in his choice of texts and historical figures thatexpress a will for the progress and liberty of mankind, such as Christopher Columbus,Maximilien or Simon Bolivar.

Aided by his wife's reminiscences and by the artist's own comments, this film looks atthe work and life of Darius Milhaud, a man that stood for universality and for dialoguebetween cultures.

The oratorio is a veritable institution in the US and is sung by many a choir. Klein's cameraseeks them out everywhere, in the most unlikely places - in Times Square, where theNew York homosexual and multiracial choir meets, in Sugarland prison in Texas, wherethe prisoners sing: "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given", or in Las Vegas, lostamong the gaming arcades.

In doing so, we revisit the world - our world - at the close of this 20th century. Kleinportrays a religion-bound society and explores multiple territories of faith, and its socialrelationships. It reminds the viewer of André Malraux's prediction that "the 21st centurywill be spiritual or will not be."

From now on, it will be difficult to listen to the oratorio without seeing the greatness anddecadence of our century.

Having spent a long time living away from his native Russia, and drawing his inspirationfrom a fertile Western background, Serguei Prokofiev returned with his wife and childrento his homeland, which by then had become the Soviet Union. It was an unsettling return:he no longer recognised his country. In return, the Soviet public were slow to welcome hisballet Romeo and Juliet: dance theatres refused it, and the dancers could not understandthe rhythm. The ballet disturbed people, and was only performed four years later... torapturous applause.The work echoes its composer's stormy life, which was made up of both great successesand deep pain. Sergueï Prokoviev fluctuated between compositions that extolled theregime, and free creations, such as the score for Serguei Eisenstein's final film, "Ivan theTerrible", which was censored.

Like a Shakespearean tragedy, this film orchestrates the history of his work, his love life,and the political history of the country, and reveals an implicit constant struggle betweenthe artist and the Soviet regime, between creative freedom and restricting ideology.

The artist explains how the organ became a sacred instrumentand why its music has acquired such a mystical dimension, constantly present in the lifeof the monks.The organ has in fact always been a popular musical instrument. It is often madeout of materials found in the local area and so its construction varies according to itsenvironment. In the same way that music is carried and uplifted by the architecture of thechurch, so the organ is sensitive to climate and seasonal changes. In order to obtain itsultimate potential, it draws on the surrounding environment to bring its music to life.

The show is acted and sung in Spanish, amidst a riot of colour, feathers and sequins, tothe rhythm and melody of a carefully-chosen repertoire of Afro-Cuban music (aficionadoswill recognise Manteca, Cubana Be and Cubana Bop) and the stage is shared by thirty orso Cuban dancers, vocalists and musicians, including the sizzling female dance troupe"Les Mulatresses du Feu".The narrative revolves around a black American saxophonist who turns out to be CharlieParker's grandson (played by Allen Hoist). He travels to Havana to try and recaptureChano's spirit, to "feel the vibe". Through the people he encounters, Chano graduallycomes alive again. In a series of six colourful tableaux, we watch him play and danceand finally lament his death. The script takes a leap in time here, a stitch in space there- shifting from present-day Havana to 1940s' Cuba and Harlem and back again, withan unexpected detour via a club in deepest Alaska - and the show pounds along ata breakneck pace, thanks to an outstanding collection of musicians including conga-drummer Miguel Anga Diaz, veteran Wilfred Fernando Vicente, alias Chongito, whoused to play with Dizzy Gillespie, vocalist Aramis Galindo Sotomayor, and the thoroughlywonderful 86-year-old Juana "La Cubana" Bacallao.

These titles conceal some of the most fascinating original sound tracks, ones that havelargely contributed to firmly anchoring the films and television series in the collectiveimagination. Why are these sound tracks - which are indeed veritable films for our ears -so strongly evocative? What influence do they have on contemporary musicians?

To answer these questions, we travel to Paris, San Francisco, Los Angeles and NewYork to meet Lalo Schifrin, Quincy Jones, John Barry and Michel Legrand, four brilliantcomposers to whom we owe the invention of the sound that revolutionised the relationshipbetween film and music.

We also meet contemporary artists, whose work is strongly inspired by the musicalmovement initiated in the sixties - Air, David Holmes, Mike Patton...We return to the location of mythical film shoots, talking to the creators.

Created at the beginning of the last century in the dives and slums of Piraeus, it sing of thelives of ordinary people, using simple, ordinary words to evoke the joys and heartbreaksof love, the hardships of work, the pain of prison, drugs and exile.

The film returns to the source of the rebetiko and tell its story, revealing a kind of parallelhistory of the country as well as the persistance of a myth, but it essentially shows howthe rebetiko is sung, played, danced and watched by today's generation. Filmed in smalltaverns, ports, prisons, Rebetiko creates an imaginary map of the rebetiko, a world ofmemory and desire, a multifaceted and multi-layered collage of times and places, wherethe voices of the greatest rebetes echo in the sound and fury of modern Greece.

Vanessa Paradis celebrated the release of "Divinidylle" after a seven-year recordingbreak, gracing the major French concert venues alongside the friends who helped compileher fifth album. Among them were Mathieu Chedid, known as M, on guitar, and Albin dela Simone on keyboards.

Vanessa is a rare artist, who keeps herself out of the public eye and dislikes intrusions intoher private life. The best way to film a portrait of her was to follow her on tour, discoveringher with no flourishes or pretence, and capturing her artistic and emotional qualities.

This film, a personal and musical road movie, follows an emotion-packed adventure -from pre-concert rising stress-levels, to endless standing ovations, to trips in the tour bus,to final sound-check adjustments, to backstage moments of uncontrollable laughter andspleen during the final concert at Bercy in Paris.

This film is also an ideal way to discover Vanessa Paradis in a different light. Betweenlengthy extracts from concerts and scenes from her daily life, Vanessa goes back overher career, talking about her incredible encounters with Lenny Kravitz, Serge Gainsbourgand M. Sometimes smiling, sometimes silent, she lifts the shroud of mystery on her life,mentioning "her" Johnny Depp among others and those who love her, whether she knowsthem or not.

For Stomu and Sverrir, the work is a musical and spiritual bridge between Japan andEurope. As their music takes form, we discover the outstanding worlds of our two artists- their childhoods, their artistic careers, their attachment to their culture and their faith.

The film takes us to Iceland and to Japan, where we follow their work, includingrehearsals, in preparation of the worldwide premiere of their musical creation at NotreDame de Paris in Autumn 2009.

Although The Divine Comedy has been part of Romeo Castellucci's life since hisadolescence, he does not provide a literal "adaptation". His work is inspired by Dante'stext, but more than anything else, he aims to "become" Dante: "In the sense of beingDante, behaving like him, like at the start of a journey into the unknown."
