July 06, 2010 12:03

Screen Australia, in association with MIFF 37˚South Market, presents educator and critic Robert Rosen speaking on narrative storytelling and its significance both on and off the screen from July 29 to August 5.

“We are thrilled to introduce Robert Rosen to a MIFF audience and to screen industry practitioners. Bob is one of the world’s most inspiring speakers and his lectures are informed, witty and downright entertaining. This is an extraordinary opportunity to see a revered Hollywood insider remind us why we do what we do: to tell great stories,” said Martha Coleman, Head of Development at Screen Australia.

Rosen has spoken on film criticism, media history and curatorship in more than 20 nations. He was Founding Director of the American Film Institute’s National Centre for Film and Video Preservation, a member of the National Film Preservation Board of the Library of Congress and, with Martin Scorsese, organiser of the Film Foundation on which he currently serves as the Founding Chair of the Archivists Council.

The series features one General Admission Lecture and five Industry Lectures aimed at film and TV professionals (such as writers, producers, directors, film critics, academics, executives and post-graduate students). All lectures conclude with a Q&A session moderated by Sue Maslin, screen producer and RMIT School of Media and Communication Adjunct Professor.
