FACILITATOR
Having spent past lives as a film blogger, video store manager/film buyer, and student of film both academically and in the real world, Nick Bruno spent much of the past decade promoting and programming for the Portland International Film Festival and Northwest Film Center. He brings his enthusiasm for film of all shapes and sizes to his new role as SIFF's year-round Public Cinema Programs Manager.
ABOUT CINEMA DISSECTION
Cinema Dissection affords film lovers an exciting opportunity to dig deeper into the films that they love. Inspired by Roger Ebert's annual Cinema Interruptus in Boulder, CO, attendees will participate with a facilitator in a six-hour scene-by-scene, and sometimes shot-by-shot, deconstruction of the featured film. While the facilitator will certainly share their thoughts, anyone in the audience may call out "Stop" and either ask a question of the group or make an observation around a certain shot or moment in the film.
