Books into Film

Books into Film is a fascinating series that explores why certain literary works have been successfully adapted into films. With a focus on movies over the last two decades, Books into Film delves into social themes and current issues with the goal of examining and appreciating not only the crafts of writing and filmmaking, but also why that particular Book inspired the film. Each episode takes the audience on a journey from page to screen and includes memorable film clips, behind-the-scenes footage, on-set and exclusive one-on-one interviews with authors, screenwriters, actors, directors and critics. Books into Film also examines the challenges that come with translating great literature into great film. The topics span a broad range of genres, from Dr. Seuss to dark Westerns and then reviewed by both literary experts and professors who analyze both crafts and their influence on society.
