Films by Jay Rosenblatt + Q&A + Masterclass
Jay Rosenblatt’s masterclass will take the form of a conversation about his work and creative process.
A two-time Academy Award–nominated director and the author of more than thirty-five films, Rosenblatt has long created cinema that explores the emotional and psychological experiences at the core of human life.
Rosenblatt will speak about the sources of his artistic explorations, his work with archives and found footage, and the ways in which private emotions can be translated into the language of cinema. The conversation will be complemented by excerpts from selected films, offering insight into his distinctive style and the way he crafts evocative, often essayistic film forms. It will also be an opportunity to reflect on the artistic path of a filmmaker whose work has been presented, among other places, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York as well as in cinemas and film institutions worldwide.
The forthcoming edition of the Krakow Film Festival will also screen a selection of his last works: The Darkness of Day (2009), When We Were Bullies (2021), and How Do You Measure A Year? (2021).
