Event Description

**Paris qui dort** (dir. René Clair) is René Clair’s debut film and one of the earliest attempts at fantastic cinema in film history, built on a simple yet inventive idea: Paris is suddenly frozen in place by a mad scientist, and only a handful of people escape this mysterious phenomenon. From this premise, the film creates a visual universe in which the city becomes both setting and character, transformed into a suspended, almost dreamlike space. The film stands out for its visual inventiveness and the way it treats Paris as a playground of imagination, foreshadowing the style of a director who would become canonical. For this screening, the soundtrack is performed live by **Stéphane Scharlé**, drummer and founder of the OZMA project, known for his interdisciplinary work at the intersection of music and image, with over 500 shows worldwide. Starting from a drum kit, he developed his own instrument that allows him to create rhythmic structures and sound layers in real time, resulting in surprising electronic effects.
