Event Details

Our next speaker in our Spring 2009 Speaker Series is writer and journalist Scott Kirser.

Space is limited, therefore, registration is required.

Artists in every field who choose to use new tools, technologies, and methods of distribution almost inevitably encounter resistance from the "establishment." Looking at the history of Hollywood (and viewing clips of movies made in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries), we'll explore how cinematic innovators have run into this resistance, and often overcome it--transforming the movies as an art form and as a business. We'll discuss some of the institutional and psychological reasons people often prefer to preserve the status quo rather than giving new ideas a hearing, and also discuss some of the challenges that the motion picture industry (and anyone who wants to tell stories with film/video) is grappling with today. What are the new forms and genres emerging today... what are the business models that support them... who is innovating and who is trying to hold on to the past?
