CONFERENCE
TOP SECRET: LA MÚSICA EN EL CINE DE ESPÍAS
Conference given by Dr. Mar Norlander, musicologist and vice-president of the Philharmonic Society of Gijón.
Saturday 16 Nov | 19:00 | Free Admission
C.C. Antiguo Instituto (Assembly hall)
In espionage cinema, the soundtrack is the true master of deception. From the tense scores of
Hitchcock and the iconic themes of James Bond, charged with danger and seduction, to the
ironic humour of Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire and the sophistication of Mission
Impossible, soundtracks do more than just accompany the action: they play at misdirection,
manipulate, hide clues between notes and sow suspicion with silences. This conference will
reveal how music becomes the real undercover agent of each film mission.
