London Film School Workshop Fri 17th - Sun 19th Sept

Alexander Mackendrick’s practical approach to filmmaking serves as one of the best introductions to the craft available today. This September, Paul Cronin, editor of the book On Film-Making, offers an opportunity for filmmakers to come together and immerse themselves in Mackendrick’s influential teachings over three intensive days at The London Film School. Structured around rarely seen footage of Mackendrick discussing his approach to filmmaking, exclusive video interviews with former students and colleagues, and a host of film clips, the workshop also offers a free copy of the Mackendrick book, an extensive handout of extra material and evening networking drinks.

“These are the lectures I had hoped to hear in film school and never did. They seem to me the perfect synthesis of what one must know to tell stories on film. I cannot imagine anyone setting out to make movies without reading this book.”

Oscar-winning screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin’s review of ‘On Film-making’ by Alexander Mackendrick, edited by Paul Cronin.
