Inspiring Conversations

Inspiring Conversations (formerly Filmmaker to Filmmaker) brings together film industry professionals, academics, critics, and other film experts for wide-ranging conversations on all manner of filmmaking, culture, and impact. Designed to "pull back the curtain" on the process of filmmaking and the maneuvers of film as a cultural product, this program is equal parts intellectual enlightenment and entertainment.
This program is generously funded by the Roberta and S. James Sherman Inspiring Conversations Fund.
