class description

A FILM HISTORY CLASS WITH A TWIST:   director Michael Nankin makes studying film relevant to the actor by using the great movies of the past as a gateway to modern film and television acting.

MICHEL NANKIN’S COMMENT:

We don't study classic movie scenes to copy what we see. We study them the way physicists study Einstein or painters study Rembrandt. We need to know where our art has been; where it's come from; how it was built…to know how high the bar has been set.

We are inundated with contemporary film of every quality, but when we turn to the classics, only the finest survive the test of time. We need to understand, in our bones, what greatness is.

Most successful directors, writers and producers are film geeks and are steeped in every aspect of classic filmmaking. The exigencies of the set require us, often, to speak in a shorthand that assumes a working knowledge of films of every era. A director WILL talk about Gable’s confidence in IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT or Kirk Douglas's self-loathing in ACE IN THE HOLE -- and you want to make damn sure you know what he's talking about.
