Sydorchuk Т. Genre and Style Specifics of Musical-Screen Forms of XXI Century

Relevance of the study. The availability of tools for creating and distributing content, made possible by innovative engineering achievements, has democratized the universals of culture, enriching art with a multitude of new images, signs, and symbols. However, the most intriguing aspect of the cultural technologization is the creation of unique, extraordinary screen works, especially with a musical dominant, the generation of which has become possible through the bold experimentation of young artists and the ability to showcase their creative output on suitable platforms. The combination of musical and screen forms has created a phenomenon that demands its own definition and in-depth exploration of genre and style specifics. The appearance of a new screen ("screenema") not only stimulates the generation of a number of new forms but also actualizes the transformation of forms that have long existed in the screen space. Such forms as the concerto film, musical and the adaptation of music-dramatic genres find in the "screenema" screen a veritable "lifebuoy." Furthermore, the formal characteristics of the aforementioned genres do not typically undergo significant metamorphoses. While the works of scholars allocate a substantial portion of their attention to these musical-screen forms, the identification of distinctive features in contemporary (and often "reimagined" by contemporaries) forms is a subject of investigation much less frequently. Modern formal innovations are directly situated within the coordinate system of screen works with a dominant musical component. What's more, the democracy of modern media platforms revives audience interest in forms that have long existed in the screen space and encourages experimental artists to explore contemporary formats. All of this underscores the relevance of the research and justifies the choice of the topic. In the study, a common denominator has been identified the works with a musical dominance, and their place among conventional forms has been established by creating a classification system. The groundwork for further research on all the outlined representatives of musical-screen forms has also been laid, and their uniqueness has been illustrated with vivid examples.
