Whether a pianist behind the camera or a movie-lover at the piano, Jean-Baptiste Doulcet takes the listener on a trip through film-history by means of improvisation, an art around which he successfully built the whole of his musical upbringing. From Bergman to Varda, to Mizoguchi, Lynch or Buster Keaton, music becomes a re-direction, a recreation, a second motion picture meant as a tribute whose styles, forms and atmospheres vary significantly.

Construed like a film-library welcoming visitors, the pianist’s loud and clear narrative enhances the vitality and permanence of the cinema, also inviting two contemporary movie-makers to share, by their voices , his unconditional love of the 7th art.
