UK SW Course With Kurtz & Lieberson Posted By Mike on November 9, 2011
It looks like the Star Wars Master Class, which Chris Wyman previously reported about back in early October, will be returning to Edinburgh next spring. Guardian.co.uk reports on a similar Star Wars course that's coming to the UK in March of 2012 with the same big name instructors:
"Now, over a weekend, Gary Kurtz (producer of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and American Graffiti,) and former vice president of 20th Century Fox International Sandy Lieberson (producer credits include Performance and Rita, Sue and Bob Too) are offering Star Wars fans the opportunity to find out what really went on behind the scenes of this iconic feature film.
Through a series of interactive seminars during which there will be regular opportunities for Q&A, Gary and Sandy will offer first-hand insights into the development, production and marketing that made this film a defining moment in the history of cinema. Particular areas of focus will be:
- The film's origins and inspirations - Script - Visual and audio development - Special effects - Editing - Pre- and post-production - Marketing - Distribution
In addition, Gary and Sandy will explore how Star Wars emerged from the mist of 1970s American new wave cinema while offering an expert point of view on the film's enduring legacy."
