LOVE... OBSESSION... MUSIC!
Through a series of five events from October to December 2025, ActOne Cinema invites you to a multidisciplinary, immersive journey that explores a whirlpool of emotions -from romantic love and infatuation, to longing and obsession- through films and their soundtrack.
WHY MELODRAMA & MUSIC?
Music is an integral component in melodramatic films and an extremely effective tool in communicating a scene’s emotional core and in enhancing the emotional engagement of the audience. And yet, it remains a relatively underexplored and underanalysed topic, despite its ability to linger in audiences’ memories and its wide availability outside the big screen.
Our events wish to engage you in a multi-faceted exploration of these connections, offering both deep analysis and entertainment via a series of film screenings, concerts, discussions and expert commentary!
The events are made possible with the support of the BFI Film Audience Network, funded by The National Lottery.
Watch this space for more information and details of all the events, as they are being announced!

TOO MUCH:
A SEASON OF MELODRAMA
We are proud to be part of the BFI FAN's new UK-wide season, TOO MUCH: A SEASON OF MELODRAMA, where audiences are invited to follow their emotions and get swept away by the big screen experience!
Too Much celebrates the excess and dramatic potency of a form of cinema which champions emotional intensity over propriety and 'good taste'. With roots in the exaggerated performance and expressive staging of the silent era, the melodramatic mode evolved to incorporate a wealth of genres and stories. United by their emotion-driven plots, vivid visual language and self-conscious audience manipulation, these films are designed to make you break down in tears, cause a scene, fall in love, feel something!
