Lights, Camera, Music! The Evolution of Film Soundtracks

Music has been a part of cinema almost from the very beginning. Used as an accompaniment during the silent era, music has evolved over the years into an essential component of every film. Film professor Zbigniew Banas will provide a historical overview of the use of music in cinema and discuss the contributions of some of the best-known film score composers. The library makes every effort to ensure our programs can be enjoyed by all. If you have any concerns about accessibility or need to request specific accommodations, please contact the library. This is a virtual event hosted on Zoom. This event will be recorded. A link will be emailed to registrants when available.
