With “Thriller” poised to make the leap from MTV history to Broadway, now seems like a good time to pay proper respect to the art of the music video. Lately, we’ve been squishing them into miniscule iPod screens, robbing them of their magic. (Honestly, would you have noticed “Take on Me” if you had first encountered it as YouTube pixel slurry?) Enter the “Mirrorball” series, which gives music videos from around the world the big-screen treatment they deserve. The MFA (465 Huntington Ave, Boston 617.267.9300) runs the series through February; catch the final installment, “Britannia Rules,” on Saturday, February 28, at 4 p.m. Find more details at www.mfa.org.
