RFS006 – Mind Your Masters Pt. 1 & Women in Film

November 10, 2015 By Ron Dawson

Do up and coming filmmakers of today really need to study the masters of yesterday? Also, we begin our “Women in Film” series.

About five years ago I wrote a blog post posing the question, “Should young filmmakers of today study the masters?” It generated a lot of great debate and conversation. That question has always sat with me, particularly now in an age where YouTube celebrities gain millions of views with little to no formal filmmaking education (let alone film history). So, what value, if any, is there to know the work of master filmmakers like Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Ford, Ophuls or Chaplain? This week we hear from six filmmakers and one master photographer on the topic.

Women in Film

Today we also formally begin our “Women in Film” series as we hear an excerpt from a 4-person panel I conducted on the topic. Is that fact that I even have to make a special “series” a problem in itself? (Segment starts at about the 14:50 mark).
