Three Rivers Film Symposium
As part of the Three Rivers Film Festival, the second annual Film Symposium will look at the changing ways moving pictures are made and displayed. Film’s demise has been predicted for decades, with video advancing in picture quality, sound, portability, and affordability. Will high-definition (HD) finally eclipse film? Anyone who has been to a movie theater, watched TV, or viewed video on the Web has something to contribute to these open discussions. Attendees will gain an understanding of the tools used in making motion picture art with hands-on demonstrations, and presentations by Panasonic, Kodak, and a filmmaker who has worked in both film and video.
For more information contact Will at: 412-681-5449, ext. 219, or zavala@pghfilmmakers.org
Admission $30; $15 for students and members. Fri., Nov. 13, 10:00am – 5:00 pm at Pittsburgh Filmmakers, 477 Melwood Ave, Pgh 15213.
