I just got the BTC programme sched today and yay! I really have to hold my breath now and I am so overwhelmed, more like blown away. Much of the interesting talks and lectures collide at the same hour, so I guess its really a matter of choosing where you want to be and who you want to hear from the most. For the In the Limelight series are two British directors, Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, the Hours) will be discussing the art of filmic adaptation of novels while Mike Leigh (Vera Drake, Happy-Go-Lucky) will talk about his method of improvisation. There has been a slew of biopics the past year, so I'm not surprised that there's a lecture on biographical films, in the forum would be Stephen Frears (The Queen, High Fidelity) along with French actress Sandrine Bonnaire and filmmaker, Bernd Eichinger. Also in attendance in various lectures and events are Mike Figgis, István Szabó, Alex McDowell, Gustavo Santaolalla, Julie Delphy, Maria Schrader and Wim Wenders.
The overall theme for this year is “Screening emotions”- not that I lack any, maybe it would do me some good to immerse in it =) I look forward to the lectures on the Dark Side of Cinema and the showcase on Short Films Expand Cinema.
