SHOTLIST PARIS, 14 Mar 2013 SOURCE: AFPTV -GVs of exhibition SOUNDBITE 1, NT Binh, Curator (French, 15 sec): "The idea is to explore all the links which join the two art forms of music and cinema. For some they seem incompatible, while for others a film can hardly be distinguished or separated from its music." -GVs of exhibition SOUNDBITE 3, NT Binh, Curator (French, 27 sec): "Usually, especially in certain European countries, when cinema arrived and needed music, so-called serious musicians didn't take it very seriously, and when a musician worked in cinema he was thought to be prostituting his art, selling his soul to the devil in a sense. Luckily some great musicians became interested in it straight away." -GVs of exhibition ------------------------------------ NO AFP TEXT STORY
