Nolan to debate future of film as part of a new series of talks on the industry side of the BFI London Film Festival.
The 59th BFI London Film Festival (Oct 7-18) has unveiled a new series of industry talks under the banner LFF Connects, which will aim to explore the future of film and how the medium engages with other creative industries including TV, music, art, games and creative technology.
Interstellar director Christopher Nolan and artist Tacita Dean, whose exhibitions include the grand-scale FILM at the Tate Modern, will launch the new series on Oct 9 at London’s BFI Southbank with a conversation that “reframes the future of film”.
The conversation, moderated by BFI creative director Heather Stewart, will see Nolan and Dean explore the importance of seeing films projected on film as part of our cultural experience, as well as the necessity of determining new archival and exhibition standards that secure film’s future.
Nolan, the British director behind The Dark Knight trilogy and Inception, has led the vanguard for filmmakers wanting to work with film. US directors Judd Apatow, Bennett Miller and JJ Abrams joined him last year in making the case for film, which contributed to Kodak committing to continue to make and provide negative, intermediate and archival film.
They will also be joined in the discussion by Alexander Horwath, director of the Austrian Film Museum who has written and spoken extensively about the importance of showing film as film and preservation.
