  • Shoot & Splice: Filming on Film

    Crosstown Arts East Atrium 1350 Concourse Avenue, Memphis, TN, United States

    Many filmmakers might argue that the film vs. digital debate is dead in the water and that digital has finally won out for good. But many of the major releases in 2017 were actually shot entirely, or at least partially, on film, including Wonder Woman, The Post, Justice League, Phantom Thread, The Florida Project and I, Tonya. Join us for a discussion about shooting in both formats, why a filmmaker in 2018 might choose to shoot on film, and where to find resources to do so.

    Shoot & Splice is a monthly forum for filmmakers presented collaboratively by Crosstown Arts & Indie Memphis.

    Free and open to the public
    Doors at 6:30 pm | discussion at 7 pm
