What makes the musical a unique genre? Why do music and frame suddenly start to resonate in unison? Mikhail Vitushko's lecture is a deep and vibrant journey into the cinematic universe of the musical: from classic masterpieces to modern experiments, where emotions, rhythm, and visual style merge into the magic of cinema. The musical is not just musical cinema. It is a special world where music becomes a language, dance becomes a narrative, and every movement and note work to reveal feelings. The lecture by philosopher and film critic Mikhail Vitushko invites viewers to discover this amazing world - the cinematic universe of the musical. The starting point will be the golden age of Hollywood. "Singin' in the Rain" by Stanley Donen, "West Side Story" by Robert Wise, "Cabaret" by Bob Fosse, "My Fair Lady" by George Cukor - these films set the canon in which music not only accompanies the plot but becomes its driving force. A special place will be given to "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" by Jacques Demy - a poetic love story told entirely through song. After the lecture, viewers will be able to enjoy this film on the big screen. The lecturer will explore not only the history of the genre but also its metamorphoses. Modern works like "La La Land" by Damien Chazelle, "The Greatest Showman", "Annette" by Leos Carax, and "Tick, Tick... Boom!" by Lin-Manuel Miranda demonstrate how the musical transforms, becoming a space for personal expression and visual experimentation. Why is song in cinema so poignant? How can the frame pulse in rhythm with the melody? How does the musical reflect our dreams of a world where feelings resonate openly? The lecture will be interesting for anyone who loves cinema and music, wants to look at familiar films in a new light, or discover a genre where the impossible becomes possible. This event is for those who want to feel how cinema can sound. And music - tell a story.
