Join us for a fascinating conversation with renowned film professor and dramaturg, Sylvie Page. A Canadian-born filmmaker now teaching in Germany, Sylvie shares her journey from art history to film production, revealing why she’s dedicated her career to understanding the emotional structure of stories. In this episode, Sylvie challenges the traditional "classic structure" of filmmaking - exposition, turning points, climax, and resolution—arguing that it often leads to superficial results. Instead, she reveals her groundbreaking research and practical approach to writing stories that resonate on a deeper level. Tune in to learn how focusing on the interplay of positive and negative emotions can unlock a more authentic and impactful narrative, transforming the way you think about storytelling. Host/s: Sizwe Taele Guest/s: Dr. Sylvie Page Film & Audio Production: Sihle James & Johnny Fassler Animator: Nico Jardim Producers: Sizwe Taele, Pyda Nyariri, Jordyn Dreyer & Kate Hilson @stellenboschacademy linkedin.com/in/sylvie-pagé-62588530
