The Cary Theater Debuts “Frame-By-Frame” Cinema Studies Series
Cary, NC (PRWEB) February 05, 2016 -- The Cary Theater, in partnership with The Modern School of Film (MSF), today announced the launch of its exciting new Frame-By-Frame cinema studies series. Beginning Tuesday, February 16, The Cary will screen unique film productions, featuring analysis and discussions led by MCF Founder Robert Milazzo. Screenings begin at 7:00 p.m., and will be held every two weeks through April 26 at The Cary Theater downtown. Six films are featured in the series: "The Bicycle Thieves," "The 400 Blows," "Rashomon," "The Searchers," "Park Row" and "Mean Streets."
“The Frame-By-Frame series is a unique opportunity for film lovers of all levels to better understand and appreciate the art of film,” said Joy Ennis, Cary Theater operations and program supervisor.
“We’re excited to offer unique programming that positions The Cary as a destination for the art house film experience. We look forward to continuing to offer interesting educational opportunities and entertaining programming that goes beyond the traditional movie-going experience,” said Ennis.
This is The Cary Theater's inaugural advanced film studies series. Created with the cinephile in mind, Frame-By-Frame is designed to help film lovers delve deeper into the art and craft of filmmaking. The series will include an active deconstruction format, which allows Milazzo to stop the film at points and lead in-depth discussions about the techniques being used. This format also allows the instructor to explore the depth and breadth of film as an art form.
The MSF has a long history of working with accomplished Hollywood filmmakers and producers, which enables Milazzo to provide instruction from a unique perspective.
“The Modern School of Film is a great idea, and great ideas are hard to forget,” said Walter Salles, director of “The Motorcycle Diaries” and “On the Road.”
“I greatly appreciate The Modern School of Film’s commitment and support of the arts,” said John Woo, director of “Mission Impossible II,” among many other feature-length films.
