From bio-pics to science fiction, cinema has had a long and distinguished interest in science and scientists. But what does it take to turn scientific subject matter into a gripping film? And how do you turn scientists into compelling on-screen characters?
A panel of screenwriters and directors with a track record of working with scientific themes talk about the challenges of adapting science for the screen.
This event is now SOLD OUT. To be added to the waiting list, please visit our Eventbrite page.
The panel will be made up of Peter Moffat (writer, HAWKING, EINSTEIN AND EDDINGTON); Kate Gartside (writer, THE CHALLENGER); director Bryn Higgins (of forthcoming feature ELECTRICITY); and Dan Clifton (director short film PATIENT 39, adapted from a William Boyd short story).
The event will be chaired by John Yorke, author of the recent book about the craft of storytelling ENTER THE WOODS: HOW STORIES WORK AND WHY WE TELL THEM.
They will be talking about what it takes to turn stories from the world of science into compelling drama for the screen.
Benefit from free and better than half-price tickets, special offers and access to the CHRISTMAS LECTURES ticket ballot.
