In 1999, the Wachowskis unleashed the mind altering sci-fi mythology of The Matrix. The film’s mixture of style and substance was blended from a variety of international / underground influences into an immaculately calculated and riveting action-fueled narrative. Media educator Malory Graham takes the helm of our day-long immersion into the filmmaking craft that elevates The Matrix into the pantheon of great science fiction action films.

About the Facilitator

About Cinema Dissection
Cinema Dissection affords film lovers an exciting opportunity to dig deeper into the films that they love. Inspired by Roger Ebert’s annual Cinema Interruptus in Boulder, CO, attendees will participate with a facilitator in a six hour scene-by-scene, and sometimes shot-by-shot, deconstruction of the featured film. While the facilitator will certainly share their thoughts, anyone in the audience may call out ‘Stop’ and either ask a question of the group or make an observation around a certain shot or moment in the film.
