David Bordwell on the Screenwriting Conference
On his blog David Bordwell published an extensive article on the Screenwriting Research Conference in Brussels in which Pascal Lefèvre and Silvia Van Aken took part. He referred to the presentation by Pascal Lefèvre as follows:
“Pascal Lefèvre, one of Europe’s leading experts on comic art, provided a brisk, packed account of the history and practices of scriptwriting for Eurocomics. He described patterns of collaboration, format, and creative choice, placing special emphasis on comics as a spatial art different from cinema. His example was a page from Regis Franc’s ulta-widescreen album Le Café de la plage.”

Screenwriting Conference
The 4th Screenwriting Research Conference creates an interdisciplinary forum addressing all aspects of research in screenwriting; theory and practice. Screenwriting, the generation and development of ideas for screenworks for different media is a complex collaborative creative activity. It raises questions about existing and future industrial practice, structures, and power; about cultural variation and influence; and about individual taste, judgement and habitus. We want to discuss the crossing of media boundaries in cultural, metaphorical and physical senses. It encompasses trans and cross-mediality as well as the real or imagined differences between scriptwriting practitioners and theoreticians.
The conference is organised by the Master of Arts, film industry writing and analysis of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, MAD-Faculty with support of Associatie KULeuven (Sint-Lukas), Associatie Universiteit Brussel (VUB, Rits-Erasmushogeschool) and will take place in Brussels: 8-9-10 September 2011
Silvia Van Aken en Pascal Lefèvre (Image&Word) will take part in the conference.
