The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas: Director/Writer Talk

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 2016)

The arts event that I have attended was a screening of the film The Boy in The Stripped Pyjamas. It was held at Kardomah94 by the BFI Film Academy. We had the chance to watch the film, and have a talk with the writer and director Mark Herman. The creative aspect of the event was that we actually got to talk with the director himself about what was it like writing the script and directing the film. It enchanted the event because it was so surreal talking with someone who had experienced being on set first hand. I loved that we could find out more about working in the film industry in general from such a great director as Mark Herman. I really enjoyed listening to him telling the story of how it was filming the most emotional scene of the film. I have learned a lot about the film industry, and telling a compelling story from this screening and the Q&A session.
