NEW SERIES This on-going series will explore award-winning screenplays with an emphasis on how the words of a writer become transformed by actors, directors, film editors, composers, and a host of others into a visual experience. Individual sessions will examine both original plays and those adapted from other sources. Each presentation will include a screening of a complete movie, as well as an in-depth look at the various ingredients that all writers must take into consideration when creating text for a film. A glossary of relevant terms for the session’s focal movie as well as other interesting background materials will be part of each presentation. Dr. Thierfelder will make pauses in each film to illustrate points about text, characterization, and theme. Please be advised that each session will last approximately 150 to 160 minutes in length to allow time for discussion and commentary. This series is intended for mature adult audiences.
