	Film music in theory & practise
	3 & 4 December 2009 at ARTE in Strasbourg For a long time, scientific research into film music has not been very receptive to impulses from everyday life. Due to cinema's origins in Vaudeville, amusement arcades and 'mass' entertainment, the sciences initially ignored film music completely, then described it at a deprecating distance and only gradually began to research it in a naturalistic manner. In the context of this two-day event from Eyes & Ears of Europe and ARTE, established approaches to film music theory are to be analysed in practise and consolidated. Using an integrated, theoretically founded model of film and film music – the 'three-dimensional model' – Dr. Anselm C. Kreuzer will trace a line connecting several different theories related to film music. In the process, the following central issues will be addressed: How can science open itself to the extremely intuitive and emotional field of film music? How can scientific considerations of film music be applied in practise? This event is aimed primarily at employees of media and communication companies, (post) production firms, design studios, consultancies, marketing, advertising and dialogue agencies who want to learn more about this topic. Students and trainees are also very welcome. Please note that the number of participants is limited to a maximum number of 20. The presentations will all be held in German. Registration deadline: 27 November 2009 Any questions? Just give us a call: +49 (221) 60 60 57 10
