Nottingham Arts Theatre - Studio Theatre (Unreserved Seating)
Tickets £4 – £10
Film music can make audiences laugh, cry, and completely transform the way they respond to a scene or a film as a whole. It shapes pacing and structure, creating a more immersive and cohesive cinematic experience.
This interactive and engaging talk by film‑music expert Dr Matt Lawson takes audiences on a journey through the history of film music — from the earliest silent films to 21st‑century blockbusters — pausing at key milestones along the way.
The event explores why films have music, how it has evolved over time, and what happens when the soundtrack is changed or removed altogether. Packed with fascinating facts, figures, anecdotes, humour, and a wide range of audio‑visual examples, The Magic of Film Music offers a captivating insight into the world of film scores.
Whether a dedicated cinephile, a music lover, or simply looking for a unique night out, audiences will discover how soundtracks shape emotion — from the two notes in Jaws that make the stomach drop to the soaring themes of Star Wars that make viewers feel they can fly.
A fun, informative evening that will change the way audiences watch their favourite movies.
