Slavko Vorkapich

But what happened, and I'm trying to concise what happened i- in the years that followed.

Uh, ironically, apart from the mediocrity at the American Film Institute, they made a mistake of programming a series of lectures, uh, the last set of lectures given before he died, uh, by Slavko Vorkapich, a film theoretician who had actually won an Academy Award for doing the earthquake sequence in famous movie called San Francisco.

Uh, he was famous for, like, coins stacking up, and calendar leaves blowing, and all these montages.

He thought of film as a visual medium, not as a medium for photo plays, uh, which is what he calls anything with dialogue.
