Cinema Visionaries

Last updated on Aug 22, 2023

The Cinema Visionaries is an initiative by the CCA Film Program that brings film industry luminaries to the CCA campus for master classes and public lectures. It is funded with the generous support of Carla Emil and Rich Silverstein. It was begun in 2010 with a grant from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

This lecture series contains lineups of screenings and engaging Q&A sessions with today's most luminary filmmakers. Cinema Visionaries is also part of the undergraduate and graduate Film Programs’ curricula that gives students the invaluable opportunity to learn from the best directors in the industry.
