HOMEWOOD TO HOLLYWOOD: A CONVERSATION WITH FILMMAKERS CALEB DESCHANEL, WALTER MURCH, AND MATTHEW ROBBINS

In celebration of MICA's Bicentennial and Hopkins’ Sesquicentennial, we will be hosting three distinguished Hopkins alumni at the Parkway Theatre on Thursday, April 16 at 7:00PM.

Caleb Deschanel is a six-time Academy Award nominee in cinematography and winner of the American Society of Cinematographers Outstanding Achievement Award. His thirty-two major Hollywood films include The Black Stallion, Being There, The Right Stuff and The Natural.

Walter Murch is a three-time Academy Award winner (and six-time nominee). He is known for his work as a ground-breaking editor credited with the invention of cinematic sound design. His work includes Apocalypse Now, The Godfather I and II, The Conversation, Ghost, and The English Patient.

Matthew Robbins, Cannes Film Festival Award-winning screenwriter and director, wrote Steven Spielberg’s first feature film, The Sugarland Express, and worked with Spielberg on the screenplays for Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, as well as the original screenplay for George Lucas’s first feature, THX 1138. He has worked extensively with director Guillermo del Toro, and most recently co-wrote Brad Bird’s upcoming feature, Ray Gunn.

The longtime friends’ stories are intertwined with the birth of film studies at Johns Hopkins, thirty years before film was an official major. They made their first films at Johns Hopkins; founded a film society; and were actively involved in Baltimore’s arts community. Essential pioneers of the New Hollywood in the 1970s, they have worked (and continue to work) with the most important filmmakers of the past 60 years. They will discuss their time at JHU and their early film careers, key films from their later careers, and their ongoing friendship.
