A Town Where Music Meets Film:The Cabourg Romantic Film Festival and Privia
In the seaside town of Cabourg, Normandy, the Cabourg Romantic Film Festival has long celebrated stories of love and emotion.
At the center of it all is Suzel Pietri, the festival’s General Delegate for over forty years.
For Suzel, Cabourg is a place of stirring stories, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable encounters.
“There are powerful emotions here. There are so many beautiful landscapes. And music was what finally completed it.”
Recognizing the essential role of music in cinema, Suzel sought a way to bring it into the heart of the festival.
Together with her passionate friends, she began exploring new ideas —and that journey led to CASIO’s Privia PX-S7000.
“Discovering this beautiful instrument opened up new possibilities.”
With Privia as its inspiration, the festival launched the Swann Award for Best Romantic Film Music 2025, honoring the creative power of music in storytelling.
“Privia is an instrument that truly shines on stage. Its refined design is striking, and it has such elegance.”
The PX-S7000 combines sophisticated design with expressive playability, making it perfectly suited to the festival’s glamorous setting. Its sound resonates with the cinematic narratives it accompanies, creating unforgettable experiences for the audience.
“I am truly grateful to CASIO.”
Through Suzel's words of thanks, one senses both gratitude for the new connections forged between film and music, and excitement for the future.
Just as cinema gives life to stories, music gives those stories the power to move the heart.
“Privia is not just an instrument—it brings new emotions to our festival.”
