Joana Vicente Co-Head & Executive Director of TIFF: Spotlight Feature Special 2019 (courtesy of TIFF newsletter)

What drew you to Toronto and TIFF? I have always loved TIFF. It is an incredible organization with amazing, creative, and passionate staff, and a fabulous building and year-round programming where the mission of transforming the world through film comes to life every day. As a producer, I have had the good fortune to have 12 films at the Festival. I know what an important launching pad the Festival is for independent feature films; Toronto audiences are the most discerning and enthusiastic in the world. I have sold films at the Festival, so I know the importance the Festival has on the ecosystem of independent filmmaking. As for the city, I was excited by the idea of getting to know Toronto. I have lived in many places in my life — Macao, Portugal, France, Mozambique, Madeira, New York — so it doesn’t scare me to try a new city. So far, I am loving it! Where's your favourite spot to sit in a movie theatre? In general, I like middle-centre, three-quarters of the way back — which is an issue. My husband would rather sit near the front of the theatre! We compromise. In what way(s) do you think film has the power to transform the world? In so many ways. Through film we feel and we empathize with others and their plights; we connect deeply emotionally — not just rationally; we put our lives in perspective; we dream of worlds we didn't know existed, and we set our imagination free. I believe films speak in a language that can’t really be translated. How do you express a moment that is created by photography, editing, acting, art direction, music — everything that goes into making a film — in any other way? Those ideas, untranslatable in any other medium, have a deep effect on people, and I believe that those visions can point us towards something we may never have felt or thought in quite the same way before. What is your earliest film memory? Maybe baby Bambi wobbling and struggling to get up on his feet for the first time, and then this terrible feeling when his mother dies. And, of course, the quintessential TIFF Staff question: what is your absolute favourite film of all time? It’s so hard to answer this question. So many favourites… I would say, "What have been the most meaningful films at different times of my life?" Singing in the Rain, Rear Window, 400 Blows, Senso, La Dolce Vita, The Godfather, Deer Hunter, Love Streams, Boy Meets Girl (dir. Leos Carax), The Piano, Boyhood, and, for some holiday cheer, Love Actually.

Book Review: How Scripts Are Made

                                                       
Jim Pagiamtzis review
  " Amazing stories on how scripts are made and insights on drama and tragedies that happened behind the scenes on some well known block buster movies. An inspiring read!"

Inga Karetnikova's method is that of the art teacher: she asks students to study great works in detail, to analyze them, and then to create their own. She stresses that her examination is "interested only in how the scripts are written and what makes them work, not in a cultural or scholarly examination of them." Karetnikova analyzes eight screenplays?The Godfather, Rashomon, La Strada, Bicycle Thief, Nosferatu, The Servant, Viridiana, Notorious?and a novel written in screenplay form, Kiss of the Spider Woman. Each serves as an example of a particular aspect of screenplay writing: composing scripts, developing characters, constructing suspense, adapting literature to cinematic space and time, and weaving details and motifs within a script.

Karetnikova urges film students to work on their own screenplays while studying her book, reading the suggested scripts and viewing the films based on them to get the most from her method. She provides a series of exercises for each chapter to help students master the skills of composing and writing film treatments, developing screen stories and their characters, organizing scenes, and writing dialogue. Each of the exercises has worked successfully in her own screenplay-writing classes.
