How We Read What We Watch: A Conversation on Film, Analysis & Critical Voice
What does it mean to think critically about films, poetry, art and the many ‘texts’ that shape our everyday lives? How do we learn to write about art with curiosity, rigour and a personal voice?
This in-conversation session brings together a film educator, programmer and critic, with a poet, literary critic and late-convert cinephile for an open, wide-ranging dialogue on criticism as both practice and passion. Moving across cinema, literature, and criticism, the session will explore how we read images and words, how ideas travel between forms, and how writing becomes a tool for discovery and catharsis.
Part of *SCAPE’s Film Critics Lab, the programme is open to the public and invites youths, cinephiles and writers to step inside the thinking processes behind criticism—and to imagine their own ways of engaging, questioning, and responding to the art forms that they love.
