Game Changers: Singin' in the Rain

Step back into Hollywood in the late 1920s, where silent films are giving way to talkies. 'Game Changers' takes a closer look at 'Singin' in the Rain,' an exuberant musical that captures a film industry in the midst of transformation. In this classic, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are the reigning stars of silent cinema, but when the first sound film becomes an instant hit, their studio faces a daunting challenge. While Don adapts to the microphone with ease, Lina struggles with her voice, leading to the introduction of young actress Kathy Selden, who secretly provides vocal support. This vibrant musical is not just about dazzling performances; it humorously unveils the panic, improvisation, and hard work behind seamless productions. Join us every third Monday for 'Game Changers' at Natlab where an iconic film classic is featured, preceded by an insightful masterclass from film educator Twan Arts, shedding light on what makes each chosen film a true game changer.
