MIFF 2019 Critics Campus x Cultural Capital

Cultural Capital

The "gobbling up 50 cent VHSes from Vinnys" edition. For this episode we turn our microphones towards this years MIFF Critics Campus - participants in an intensive five-day lab which involves watching films, receiving mentorship from national and international figures in film criticism and writing reviews and essays for the MIFF website. The talk takes in discovering film criticism, the value of film websites like Letterboxd and the how to develop a distinctive voice in a world where everyone’s a critic. Today – and possibly well into the future if last year’s Campus is anything to go by (hello Rough Cut) – the critics are Zoë Almeida Goodall, Zach Karpinellison, Luke McCarthy, Jamie Tran, Claire Cao, Olivia Bennett, Isabella Trimboli and Michael Sun.
