    How did the novel Call Me by Your Name get turned into such a wonderful film? How did Oscar-winning writer James Ivory turn novelist André Aciman’s interior monologue of longing and love in which next to nothing happens into a film that has a lot happening, to capture the novel’s languorous sense of longing and love? How did director Luca Guadagnino take the script and translate it into images containing action and point of view? How do all the components of cinematography — lighting, camera, sound, design, performance, and editing — create a unique film world ideal for the story? And how does that unique film world represent the film’s style? As a contrast, we’ll also examine the film Eye in the Sky, a film with many characters and locations and points of view that necessitates an entirely different approach to film storytelling, a different style: the personal “auteurist” cinema of Call Me by Your Name versus the commercial moviemaking of Eye in the Sky. Jim Purdy is a Canadian feature film writer and director based in Toronto. He was the creator and author of the popular national TV series Home Fires in Canada and has written and directed six feature films. Jim has just completed another feature film shot in Cuba. He also taught 4thyear screenwriting at York University and authored the book The Hollywood Social Problem Film, published by Indiana University Press.  For this course he has interviewed James Ivory.
