2021 Sacem award for best music documentary A papyrus long forgotten in a storeroom in the Louvre is being revealed. The Greek text that covers it is barely legible and there are strange little signs above it. It is in fact a very ancient musical score. From Delphi to Pompeii, from Egyptian temples to new technology laboratories, this film invites us to follow the work of scientists who are passionate about antique sound worlds. Through their discoveries, the musical instruments come back to life and the scores are deciphered to allow us to hear the music of Antiquity again. Delivery of the Sacem award for Best music documentary by Béatrice Thiriet.
