Contemporary Music and Cinema: Panorama of a Territory Without Borders
Contemporary music and film images have a common history that is illustrated throughout the 20th century by the richness and the audiovisual creation that resulted from their meeting. In the film context, contemporary music extends now from the sphere of experimental film and avant-garde film, and reaches today a larger audience in fiction movies, but also in the way of creative documentary and independent cinema. The influence of concrete and electroacoustic music since 1945, the impact of the American minimalist movement from 1960-1970, the emergence of postmodernism in the 1980s are the milestones that have increased tenfold the scope of audiovisual dialogue opportunities.
