What transforms an idea into a compelling film? This session explores the craft of directing, from shaping narrative structure to developing visual storytelling and cinematic language, exploring how to make creative decisions that bring a film to life from concept to screen.

Part of Masterclass Mondays

Our series hosted by Columbia Global Center Amman connects Columbia University faculty online on Zoom with a live, in-person audience in Amman. This series explores culture and creative practice — from the craft of filmmaking and the life of manuscripts to the ways we preserve and present our shared history. Designed for the curious, join us for an evening of meaningful intellectual exchange. Each session brings together faculty insight and open discussion, creating space for ideas to be shared and explored across disciplines, geographies, and experiences.
