“Le Choc du Futur” (AKA the Shock of the Future) the Story of the Forgotten Female Pioneers of Electronic Music Coming to DVD and Digital Formats November 10
“This day-in-the-life portrait of a struggling electronic musician circa 1978 is never happier than when it gets to fix a loving, lingering gaze on the drum machines, synths, sequencers and reel-to-reel tapes that crowd its heroine’s apartment.” – Variety

LE CHOC DU FUTUR by Marc Collin – Trailer
LE CHOC DU FUTUR takes place in the Paris of 1978, when old formulas do not charm listeners anymore, creating the need for new music to arise in its place. In an extremely male-dominated industry, Ana (Alma Jodorowsky) uses her electronic gadgets to make herself heard, creating a new sound that will mark the decades to come: the music of the future.
Mixmag, the world’s biggest dance music and clubbing destination, says “As electronic music ages and develops, more moves are being made to look into the cultural history that initially bred it. This film aims to shine a light on the under-appreciated and somewhat forgotten female pioneers of electronic music.”

“Explores the thrilling possibilities of electronic music in a drama with a timely feminist slant.” – The Guardian
