Finding Your Voice: Celebrating the Healing Power of Music
March 21 - April 18, 2023 at 1:30 or 7:00 pm
We so often talk about the curative power of music; and the films included in this series may just make you burst out in song! Music in cinema sets a tone and implants subtle expectations in us, about how we will get emotionally engaged with a film. Whether it’s the words of a song that we relate to, or a memory that it triggers, music is always crucial to a successful film, even ones that aren’t billed as “musicals.” Come enjoy an entertaining true story from the UK called Fisherman’s Friends (2019), the tale of a traditional folk-singing group from Port Isaac, Cornwall. Their love of the sea is transferred into the wonderful sea shanties they sing.
