CREATING A MORE VISUALLY COMPREHENSIVE CINEMA, PART 2 - SEMINAR
Wednesday, March 19 – 7:30 PM
Egyptian > Spielberg

All New Session! An Interactive Cinematic Forum. Ever wonder what’s in the immediate future for a next generation of film artists? Ever wonder if you are on the right track to finding your way as a creative filmmaker? Ever wonder if something lies beyond the independent filmmaking world and its 25-year-old genres and formulas? Still chasing that elusive dream? It is time to get you back in touch with your creative instincts and discover a way to really move your film career forward.

While technology is in your favor, making filmmaking more accessible, do you really understand how to create complex and indelible images that will help bring attention to your new film? What sets Almodovar, Antonioni, Bergman, Coppola, Fellini, Hitchcock, Scorsese and Tarantino’s ability to visualize apart from yours? Believe us when we say it’s not money! Before you finish that script…before you shoot that film…take this one-of-a-kind, extremely motivating film aesthetics seminar that is designed to empower you with greater artistic knowledge of how to achieve the visual and aural potential of cinema. Film festival programmer and film consultant Thomas Ethan Harris addresses why it is important for new filmmakers to think more deeply and more creatively about the construction of their images and the necessity of creating a more intricate, complex and personally realized cinema. Moving beyond the most basic forms of cinematic language is essential to having the film career you want. Learning how to effectively embrace and understand the functionality of the primary "visualizing components" of great cinematic construction (the close-up, the long take, mise-en scene, color schemes, film editing styles, sound design, production design…) is critical to establishing yourself in the United States’ crowded film arena. The experience of watching over 16,000 independent feature films from emerging filmmakers (and even more shorts!) has given Mr. Harris unique insight into the contemporary world of independent filmmaking and the reasons why you must transcend it! Film clips will be used to inspire an open dialogue with the audience. Tickets: $20 General Admission; $15 Student/Senior; $12 Cinematheque Members.
