Film Analysis and Narration
Film analysis is the process by which a film is analysed in terms of its visuals, sound, editing and narration. Analysing film will help us understand the effectiveness of the intentions and messages of filmmakers and our own interpretations of films. Each session will be illustrated with film clips linked to a film programmed at Lumière Cinema.
Karel Deburchgrave is the chairman of the Belgian film monthly Filmmagie and has worked as a film critic for various Dutch and English magazines. He teaches film at the film museums of Brussels, Antwerp and Louvain.
