Digital Film Making
with Mike Figgis
Wednesday 19th November – 7pm
_________________________________________
Mike Figgis has roots in experimental theatre and music, which are just two primary influences that contribute to the creative vision in all of his feature films and documentaries. Over the course of the past 20 years, Figgis has emerged as a visionary filmmaker who thrives on taking artistic risks.
He is possibly most famous for directing the Oscar-winning Leaving Las Vegas, but the British born filmmaker has exhibited his more eclectic personal style in such films as Stormy Monday and Liebestraum, while more recently his innovative use of new digital technology led to the making of Timecode, one of the first films to be shot entirely on digital cameras.
His enthusiastic uptake of the digital format has led him to write a book on the subject, Digital Film Making. On the one hand the book is a handy guide, offering the reader a tutorial in how to get the very best from digital film-making technology. But above all it sets out to encourage people to pick up a camera and have a go.
Mike Figgis will be talking about the digital film making revolution, answering questions and will also be signing copies of his book.
