Films tell stories, create worlds and draw you into the reality of the characters. The way they do so is a question of texture. How is something like the texture of a film created? In this new, lively course, the many different aspects of film texture are unravelled by film journalist Kevin Toma (de Volkskrant) with the assistance of two guest speakers, illustrated by exciting film excerpts from classic and contemporary cinema. This in-depth, yet light-hearted voyage of discovery will teach you to look with pleasure, awareness and receptiveness at the texture of film – ranging from the precise choices of the director to the little flaws that give a film its personality.
