w/ Filmmaker Gerald Peary in attendance, Feb. 10
Filmmaker Gerald Peary in attendance for Q&A plus UT professor Thomas Schatz moderates a panel of Austin film critics discussing the current state of film criticism.
Long-time, respected film critics are losing jobs right and left as the magazine/newspaper world gives way to web-based sites. Bloggers, fanboys, loud amateurs, tweeters, and former print-based critics are all trying to get the attention of movie-lovers. Some even want to inform them. Looking into the 100-year history of film criticism in America, Peary’s heartfelt, thoughtful documentary shows us how well constructed criticism arose and how it is rapidly evolving.
“With FOR THE LOVE OF MOVIES, Peary has wisely determined that the best defense of film criticism is, well, film criticism itself. In addition to archive footage and lively interviews, he includes voice-over readings of excerpts of film reviews past, lively passages that remind us that great critics have to be great writers, astute observers and thinkers who are skilled in expressing themselves.”
