From Page to Screen
A presentation by scriptwriter Dr Matthew Harris and the screening of two films, Snooze Time (2014), and 43000 Feet (2012). Dr Harris will be talking about the genesis of the ideas for the films, the writing and revision process of the scripts, and elements of the production that bear on the translation from the page to screen. Dr Harris will also comment on the thematic link between the films: human perceptions of time.
