Introduction Stanley Kubrick is distinguished director famous for his unique auteur method of work, his devotion to filmmaking and his signature visual style and narrative composition. Even after his death in 1999, people still would describe him as a secretive and reclusive man, who is hard to work with.

I am applying to the SBIFF Film Studies Program because as an aspiring film director, being both female and black, I’m constantly reinventing and developing my lens of filmmaking. Since I was nine, I would be glued to the couch with my mother and watch classic like Alien, Steel Magnolias, and Cabaret. From sci-fi to dance dramas, I would be immersed in the world of cinema and wanted to be like the icons who I’ve revered so deeply. Now that I am in film school and I promise, Bob Fosse is still one

Last November 27, the class watched “This Is Not a Film”. The movie was filmed as if it were a documentary.

The first unit will focus on creativity, introducing the art of filmmaking, how to draw storyboard, and develop characters. The second unit will focus on film techniques, learning

mother, and her departure to college. Director Dee Rees draws on particular filmmaking techniques and personal experiences to depict Alike’s struggles to embrace her lesbian identity, ultimately in order to fuel a growing gay rights sentiment. My initial reaction to the film was of utter shock at the brutally raw reality of the film. Upon reflection and commentary from other sources, the film’s simple yet vastly effective filmmaking techniques of developing the explicit and implicit meaning of the film
