Behind the harmony and musical coherence of a film lies a figure little known to the general public: the music supervisor.

In addition to pooling their knowledge and skills, ASM members will be taking part in the first edition of Sœurs Jumelles, Rencontre de la Musique et de l'Image in Rochefort in June 2021, organizing round tables and leading master classes.
