SUMMARY:Doc Edge Clinic: Local Lens\, Global Reach: The Power of Place in Filmmaking
DESCRIPTION:Join U.S. director Thaddeus D. Matula (“Into the Spotlight”) in “Local Lens\, Global Reach: The Power of Place in Filmmaking” as he unravels the art of storytelling and the architecture of narrative structure. Discover how compelling stories thrive on the foundations of “but\,” “therefore\,” and “meanwhile.” Thaddeus\, a storytelling vessel\, compares his approach to carving out the transcendent truth hidden within reality\, much like Michelangelo’s pursuit to free the angel from marble. \nThis talk isn’t just about filmmaking; it’s about the universal language of passion that resonates with all. Thaddeus will share insights on connecting with subjects’ passions\, staying open to opportunities\, and nurturing connections to illuminate the human experience through cinema. \nFor filmmakers in Christchurch and beyond\, “Local Lens\, Global Reach” is a beacon of inspiration\, reminding you that the power to touch hearts and change minds through storytelling lies within you\, no matter where you are. Thaddeus’s journey illustrates that with passion as your compass and storytelling as your craft\, you can create films that resonate globally from your very location. \nIn addition to speaker Matula\, full details of the day’s programme will be advertised soon. \nMatula’s film\, “Into the Spotlight\,” takes the spotlight as our December Film of the Month in the Virtual Cinema. But here’s the exciting part: you can watch the film either on the big screen or online. Plus\, you’ll have the chance to meet the director in person in Christchurch and Auckland.   \nChristchurch at Lumiere Cinemas on Saturday 2 December at 4.30pm\nAuckland at The Capitol Cinema on Sunday 3 December at 2.30pm
