2012 will be a big year for BAFTA Guru, the online resource from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts designed to inspire, educate and throw open the doors to young filmmakers and cinephiles alike.
We’ve seen some excellent and inspiring lectures, Q&As and interviews already from Martin Scorsese, Charlie Kaufman and Nolan Bushnell among others, each opening up about their particular field of expertise and giving their advice to young filmmakers, writers and video game designers.
BAFTA is perfectly placed to offer this service and it’s great to see BAFTA Guru being put together with such care and the latest video is a forty minute interview with Gary Oldman, whose recent turn in Tinker, Tailor, Solider Spy reminded us of the variety and depth of his performances, not a bad feat considered he had to step out of the considerable shadow of Sir Alec Guinness in order to do so.
It’s a fascinating watch, and if you’re so inspired I’d highly recommend bookmarking the page and then clicking around, there’s much to enjoy.
You can whet your appetite with a coming soon trailer below,
