We’re received the wonderful news that Brit-legend Emma Thompson will be part of this years BAFTA Screenwriter Lecture Series.
The acclaimed writer and actress who’s given us an endless array of great performances and writing including SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, NANNY MCPHEE, and the upcoming EFFIE GRAY is among an all-star line-up that also includes James Schamus (CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN) and director Steven Knight (DIRTY PRETTY THINGS, EASTERN PROMISES), who between them boast seven BAFTA and Oscar nominations. The series, in collaboration with the BFI, is now in its fifth year and will take place between 18th and 29th September.
They’re a great opportunity to get into the heads and hearts of the people at the very top of the business. We highly recommend keeping an eye out for many of BAFTA’s Guru lectures and film-maker sessions as they’re wonderfully informative, but also well worth your time.
Public tickets for the September lectures are available from 11.30am on Tuesday 12th August. Transcripts from the event and further content will be available on the BAFTA Guru website guru.bafta.org shortly after each of the lectures and so even if you can’t get there, you’ll be able to follow it up afterwards.
