Screenwriters' Lecture Series 2011

04 October 11

This year's Screenwriters' Lecture Series with the BFI and The JJ Charitable Trust was an unequivocal success, with William Nicholson (Gladiator), Moira Buffini (Tamara Drewe), John Logan (Coriolanus), Guillermo Arriaga (Amores Perros), Frank Cottrell Boyce (24 Hour Party People), Paul Laverty (My Name Is Joe) and Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich) all delivering inspirational lectures to a captive audience.

Whilst we prepare the full transcripts and videos from each event, there's plenty to be inspired by in the meantime.
