The Musical, this unknown
Passionate about musicals from an early age, Adriano, in his final project, narrates and delves into the history of the genre, from its origins to the present day, making a short movie-musical written and directed by himself.
Dividing up his final project into four chapters, he starts from the silent films of the Lumiere brothers to finally arrive at the first animated musical film made by Disney, showing how music emerged early on as an essential component in the cinema world and how the first directors of this genre, together with Hollywood icons, defined its characteristics.
