A focus season on an era-defining artist who left an indelible mark on popular music and the movies.
Giorgio Moroder, the composer and record producer dubbed the father of Disco, is credited for pioneering electronic dance music. One of the key figures behind Donna Summer’s groundbreaking track I Feel Love, Moroder rose to legendary status as a film composer with a series of iconic soundtracks that dominated the charts and defined an era of popular music and fashion.
The late 70s and 80s was a defining period for him, winning Oscar’s for Best Original Score for Midnight Express (1978) and Best Original Song for Flashdance… What a Feeling for the 1983 film Flashdance. Adding to those prestigious accolades, he producing and composed Blondie’s emblematic hit Call Me for the film American Gigolo (1980) and Philip Oakey’s Together In Electric Dreams for the film Electric Dreams (1984).
This focus season brings together some of his most celebrated works. Films that captured a pivotal moment in popular culture when MTV was king, fashion was everything and music and image were inseparable. Moroder was at the centre of it, driving each one forward, one synth beat at a time.
