A sleeping Paris, frozen in time by a mysterious ray… and a watchman perched atop the Eiffel Tower who wakes to find himself in a motionless city. René Clair’s Paris qui dort (The Crazy Ray), restored in 4K by the Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé in 2018 and considered the first French science-fiction film, is reborn in this cine-concert led by Stéphane Scharlé, drummer and leader of the acclaimed French jazz collective OZMA.
For his first solo film-concert, Scharlé deploys his unique invention — the Augmented Drum — blending acoustic drumming with loops, electronic textures, and improvisation. The result: a hypnotic, modern soundtrack that brings new life to Clair’s 1924 masterpiece.
