Adaptation from A-Z: Are We Living in the Age of Adaptation?
Cinema has always found inspiration in books: in the international box office, out of every 20 movies 10 are adaptations, and the biggest commercial success ever remains Gone with the wind, adapted from the novel by Margaret Mitchell.

This masterclass will focus on the professionals’ practices in term of adaptation, and explain how a book can be turned into a script then film. Who are the interlocutors for this transformation process from a work of art to another? What is it possible to do and what isn’t?
