TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PASSES
– 5 OR 10 ADMISSIONS –
Book adaptations for film are a genre unto themselves. Full of promise for readers, these adaptations nevertheless pose many challenges. How can you remain faithful to a text when images come into play? How can you adapt without copying? What relationship does a director have with the book they are trying to bring to the screen?
A discussion with director Philippe Falardeau and the author Alain Farah will follow to try to understand the challenges and rewards of such an adaptation.
Hosted by: Félix Morin
