A major figure in French art music, Georges Auric (1899-1983) was the presiding genius of French film composition from the 1930s until the coming of La Nouvelle Vague.

In this retrospective, Ciné Lumière looks at a cross section of Auric’s film work noting his leftist inspiration, rebellion against the music establishment and expansion into genres and expressionism. From  Passport to Pimlico to Lola Montès, this season will also feature a live concert with Dame Felicity Lott following the screening of Auric’s first film work, The Blood of a Poet.

This season is co-curated with Academy Awards nominated British composer, Gary Yershon, as part of the Entente Cordiale Celebrations.
