Charlie Kaufman: Screenwriters Lecture. 

One of my personal favorite modern cinema writers is American screenwriter Charlie Kaufman. I ran into this beautifully made excerpt of his BAFTA Guru Screenwriting Lecture he gave on September 30th 2011. This in front of a sold out theatre at the British Film Institute (BFI) in London. Kaufman’s work includes the instant-classic surreal fantasy Being John Malkovich, cerebral sci-fi Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and comedy drama Adaptation. What an inspiring man he truly is! Listen to Kaufman’s full lecture here. Also in this series are William Nicholson (Shadowlands), Moira Buffini (Tamara Drewe), John Logan, (The Aviator), Guillermo Arriaga (Babel), Frank Cottrell Boyce (24 Hour Party People), Paul Laverty (My Name Is Joe). Enjoy!
