DIRECTORS MASTERCLASS - THURSDAY 11TH JULY AT 3.30PM - 6.30PM
Julien Temple will be the subject of this year's Directors Masterclass which is in association with Screen Training Ireland.
Born in London, England, in 1953, Julien Temple grew up with little interest in film until, when a student at Cambridge, he discovered the works of French anarchist director Jean Vigo. This, along with his interest in the early punk scene in London in 1976, led to his friendship with The Sex Pistols. It was this friendship that later resulted in the controversial documentary The Great Rock and Roll Swindle (1980), which tells the rise of the band from the viewpoint of their manager, Malcolm McLaren. Weaving together interviews, live music, animation and other spectacular footage, Swindle proved to be a critical success despite the controversy surrounding it. The documentary became a cult hit and helped launch Temple into a phenomenally successful career making music videos.
He quickly became a wanted man among rock's elite and in the 1980s, helped pioneer the use of the music video, directing projects for The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, David Bowie, Neil Young and Janet Jackson among others. His early work was (and still is) considered groundbreaking.
Temple worked on a variety of projects, Jazzin' for Blue Jean (1984), The Comic Strip (1981), Absolute Beginners (1986), Earth Girls Are Easy (1988), and many others before returning to his punk roots with a new documentary about the Sex Pistols, The Filth and the Fury (2000), which was told from the band's perspective. In 2006 he returned to the punk rock scene once again with Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten (2007), a documentary about his longtime friend and Clash frontman. One of his more recent projects came at the request of BBC Arts, which commissioned Temple to produce a documentary about the city of London. The film, This Is London (2012), reflects Temple's reverence for his home city and shows how the city has changed and adapted since the early 20th century. It concludes with the metropolis preparing to welcome the Olympic Games. The film is a part of a series of city-based music documentaries Temple is directing.
ACTORS MASTERCLASS - FRIDAY 12TH JULY 10AM - 1PM
Zachery Quinto will be the subject of this year's Actors Masterclass which is in association with Hubbard Casting and Screen Training Ireland.
"I have an inherent understanding to his (Spock's) nature, which is one of duality - the head versus the heart. That is certainly something I can relate to. As someone who has been considered pretty intellectual and wordy, I also have a deep well of emotional life. I understand what it means to be in constant relationship to both of those aspects of myself."
The role of Spock required an actor capable of cultivating a strong emotional life that lies just under the surface, only exploding forth at times of great duress. Feeling emotions but only rarely emoting them is something counter-intuitive to most actors but Quinto absolutely nailed the balance in his big-screen breakthrough, garnering rave reviews for his portrayal and helping the film earn over $250 million internationally, making it the most successful film of the long-running Star Trek franchise.
The prolific actor has gone on to star in such popular TV shows as 24, Heroes and American Horror Story, as well as producing and starring in Margin Call. Now, fresh from reprising his role as Mr. Spock in Star Trek into Darkness, Quinto is preparing to make his long-anticipated return to the West of Ireland for the 25th Galway Film Fleadh.
The Actors Masterclass will be hosted by John Hubbard of Hubbard Casting and will provide an intensive interactive environment in the skills, methodology and aesthetics of film acting aimed at actors working or wanting to work more in film. The masterclass will cover such topics as:
• Starting out as an actor • Dealing with casting directors • Securing an agent • Preparing for an audition • Working on set • Relationship with the director and many more.
