The film Orient-Occident, directed by Enrico Fulchignoni with music by Iannis Xenakis (not yet commercially available) is, in general, only mentioned through the homonymous concert version of Xenakis's music. This unavailability of the cinematographic work is regrettable, firstly because it is a documentary with excellent content and excellent visual quality and, secondly, because it demonstrates Xenakis' extraordinary capacity for sonic imagination. This imagination expresses itself through musical (compositional) ideas, but also through the way Xenakis illustrates and comments on the film’s images. The article studies film as such for the first time and its music through the relationship between music and image.
