Spielberg] OUT WITH THE OLD: REDEFINING GENRE FILMMAKING, April 26, 2012

Thursday, April 26 – 7:30 PM
[Spielberg] OUT WITH THE OLD: REDEFINING GENRE FILMMAKING, 180 min. In the U.S., genre filmmaking is a staple. But why shouldn't emerging filmmakers give genre filmmaking an immediate update? Why is it better to make a "neo-realist" Western or a "science fantasy" than the classical version? With "torture porn" pretty much behind us, what does an "elevated horror" film look like? What new foundations do today's action films, musicals and film noirs rest upon? Film Consultant Thomas Ethan Harris further deconstructs genre filmmaking and comes up with a modern approach to genre success. $12 Member, $15 Students/Seniors, $20 General.
