Peter Greenaway - MASTERCLASS
CINEMA IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE SCREEN
Trained
as a painter for four years, and started making his own films in 1966,
Peter Greenaway has continued to make cinema in a great variety of
ways, which has also informed his curatorial work and the making of
exhibitions and installations. He has made twelve feature films and
some fifty short-films and documentaries, published books, written
opera librettos, and collaborated with renowned composers. By each film
he makes, from his first, the Draughtman’s Contract, to his latest,
Rembrandt’s J’accuse, his reputation consolidates. At this special
occasion, Peter Greenaway will talk about cinema language, but explain
how it is wasted on cinema and why in all probability we have never
seen any cinema but only 114 years of illustrated text. Greenaway will
show many examples from his own works of the past three years.
