This seminar includes five uniquely cinematic films. They
are thought-provoking “art films” that explore filmmaking’s greatest potential
in acting, music, sound, cinematography, and innovative storytelling. They
are multi-award winners, critically acclaimed, and very watchable.
The films will be shown in The Warehouse PAC theater in
Cornelius, on its 10 x 20 ft. screen with 5.1 Dolby surround sound, to provide
an authentic large screen experience.
Each film will be introduced, screened, and followed by Q&A
and discussion.
