The collection will be released on March 13rd in a completely remastered version and with a new look edition. All the title of the series have been enriched with a text by Marco Muller, movie producer, critic and director of the most important film festival. He affirms: Cinema is the place where music becomes something different, carving for itself a specific role within a whole where it is as important as visual composition, editing , time and movement. Without music cinema would lose one essential element of its nature.Whenever important musicians have worked with important film-directors their strong individual personalities have always struck a balance where great music made a great film stronger and vice versa. These adventurous stories of Italian (and not only Italian) cinema are the subject of this well-thought re-proposition of the CAM catalogue. A selection of its greatest titles offering the opportunity to divert from a concert program of modernist music, or an alternative to light pop, to venture into a new continent just waiting to be (re-)discovered.
