Study More Than Film (2017x15)

Air date: Oct 31, 2017

"Read about history and psychology because so much art draws from those two areas. If you don't have some passing familiarity with history (recent and ancient) and psychology, your inferences about an artist's point of view will draw almost entirely upon second or third hand attitudes, i.e. you'll be critiquing film and tv based mainly on what film and tv you've seen. This will make your work shallow and prevent you connecting the art to life." -Matt Zoller Seitz, on advice for young critics
