In 2014 we saw a fantastic line-up for our Screenwriters' Lecture Series in partnership with BFI. Speakers included; James Schamus, Emma Thompson and Steven Knight. 2014 marked the fifth year for the series which celebrates screenwriters' authorial contribution to film. Our speakers boast credits from a range of genres so please do enjoy the highlights and insights from their careers which we have captured.
“It is the screenwriter who creates the blueprint for what we eventually see and experience on screen. The complex relationship between screenplay and completed film comes under vivid scrutiny this year, as we invite an impressive line-up of speakers combining their screenwriting talents with equally successful pursuits in directing, producing and acting.”
