CinePunked Presents: An Introduction to Tim Burton

The undisputed master of modern gothic cinema, Tim Burton’s distinctive and visually striking style has become a byword for the dark and quirky side of mainstream film. 

Learn about his unique approach to the medium, his off-beat narratives, and his instantly recognisable visuals in this one-off workshop led by film experts Robert JE Simpson and Dr Rachael Kelly of Cinepunked and who have years of experience in delivering interactive events for film lovers. 

Through in-depth analysis of selected clips, a bit of film history, and a lot of guided discussion, you will learn how to apply the language of film analysis in engaging with and critically evaluating this fascinating and audacious filmmaker. 

No experience is required, just a love of film, though it helps to have seen a few of Burton’s films. So come and discuss, debate, and learn about one of cinema’s modern auteurs.
