Full event details

When watching a Hollywood blockbuster, we are often so engrossed in the action that we fail to hear the soundtrack that underpins it. And yet this ‘inaudible’ music can fundamentally change how we read a film. These unheard soundtracks have prompted a debate that has raged for 30 years: is the music there simply to cover up awkward silences in the image? Or is it there to disguise editing and temporal jumps in the image? Some have even claimed that the soundtrack appeals to our subconscious, causing us to ‘regress’ into a state more susceptible to the onscreen fantasy.
