SUMMARY:Cinema Studies - Bob Fosse and the Modern Movie Musical
DESCRIPTION:As soon as motion pictures could speak\, they began to sing\, a
 nd the musical genre has endured for more than a century. In this lecture\
 , film scholar Jeff Hughes surveys the history of the movie musical from t
 he brilliant Golddiggers of 1933 to the Golden Age of MGM to the postmoder
 n musical fare of the 1980s (Dirty Dancing\, Footloose\, etc.). There will
  be songs! There will be dance! And there will be plenty of insights from 
 scholars across the cinema studies landscape. As the lecture positions Bob
  Fosse as the genre's most important modern figure\, the featured film wil
 l be Fosse's 1979 masterpiece\, All That Jazz. Copies of the film will be 
 available at the Library.\nPresented by Jeff Hughes\, a graduate of the Ma
 rtin Scorsese Department of Cinema Studies at New York University’s Tisc
 h School of the Arts\, who will explore the film’s production\, themes\,
  and lasting influence.
