BABYLON Screening - FOMO Music Film Fest
Sunday 1. March at 19:00 - 22:10
FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi
Damien Chazelle | 2022 | USA | 189mins + 10 minute intermission | English language with English subtitles
BABYLON is presented as part of the week-long Music Film Fest at FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi.
BABYLON is an epic portrait of Hollywood during the transition from silent cinema to sound. Set in the late 1920s, the film follows multiple characters navigating ambition, excess and technological change.
Music and sound are central to its thesis. Composer Justin Hurwitz builds a jazz-infused score that mirrors the chaos of early Hollywood. The arrival of synchronised sound reshapes careers overnight, proving how technology can create and destroy stars in equal measure.
Chazelle, whose career is deeply tied to music cinema, uses rhythm as narrative structure. The film is loud, messy and ambitious by design. On a large screen, its scale becomes immersive. It is not simply about movies, it is about the birth of the modern soundtrack and the price of reinvention.
Location: FOMO Secret Cinema, Bazari Orbeliani, Tbilisi. A five minute walk from Liberty Square metro.
