During his stay, the filmmaker will take part in a number of workshops with students from both the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures and Edinburgh College of Art. In the evening of 9 March, Dr David Sorfa from LLC’s Film Studies programme and ECA’s Dr Jonny Murray will join Oliver Stone on stage at the Filmhouse to gain an insight on his artistic and political motivations and thoughts on how the film industry has changed throughout his thirty-year career. He will talk about his current project, the highly anticipated political thriller, Snowden, ahead of its nation-wide release later this year. The film is directed by Oliver Stone and co-written with Kieran Fitzgerald. Professor Chris Breward, Principal of Edinburgh College of Art, said: “We are delighted to be able to host Oliver Stone’s visit to the University of Edinburgh.
