Overview
Join us for the inaugural installment of Film School, featuring an introduction by filmmaker Ted Robinson followed by a screening of Robert Altman's Nashville. Ted Robinson is an award-winning filmmaker specializing in location and post-production audio as sound mixer and sound editor on numerous feature films, short films, and television series. Ted conceived of the Film School program for Tinworks at Rialto. He is based in Livingston, Montana. A cornerstone of American filmmaking, Robert Altman’s Nashville is equal parts comedy, tragedy, and musical. Many of the phenomenal cast wrote their own songs and performed them live on location. Altman’s groundbreaking use of multi-track location recording transformed how dialogue and soundscapes could be captured, resulting in a narrative experiment and audio innovation that reshaped modern sound mixing. Film School is a recurring film screening and lecture series pairing landmark works of cinema with short, accessible presentations from local filmmakers and technicians. Each event highlights a specific technical or creative innovation within the film—illuminating the craft behind the art—and connects it to the work being done by regional professionals today.
