France: Scripting Spaces in Paris; Analysis, Urban Design, and Storytelling in Paris' Public Realm
Paris –often considered the laureate for the world's most beautiful city– prioritizes the quality of its public realm. The city is also a foundational point of departure for cinematic culture: the first movie was commercially screened in Paris' Grand Cafe. This formidable city comports the cultural, narrative, and architectural characteristics that prompt storytelling. This Global Summer Studies workshop began with analyses of "filmable" urban spaces, quickly progressing to students scripting their own short films to be shot within spaces of their choosing.
