In the 1960s film schools sprang up around the globe and since then one-time student film-makers such as Milos Forman and Martin Scorsese have enriched world cinema. Yet when young upstarts such as Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez were able to succeed without a formal film school education the very need for such institutions was put into question. Projections 12 explores film education past, present, and future. Composed of a series of wide-ranging dialogues with current teachers at major schools such as Columbia and USC and recent alumni from across the disciplines — including editing, script writing, and cinematography — this is an ideal volume for anyone interested in a film career.
