This week we take a look ahead at the future of filmmaking with Timur Bekmambetov and a look back at the legend that is costume designer Edith Head with Susan Claassen.

First up, hear from the innovative and visionary director Timur Bekmambetov and his new project “Screenshare Filmmaking” and the workshop he is hosting at SXSW this year that all you filmmakers out there can apply to with hopes of being one of the lucky ones chosen to participate under Timur’s tutelage.

TCM Party peeps and classic film fans will love hearing Susan Claassen talk about costume design, this year’s Oscar nominees for costume design and, of course, the legendary Edith Head. Susan is one of the foremost authorities on Edith Head and for the past 12 years has been taking her one woman show “Susan Claassen in A CONVERSATION WITH EDITH HEAD” around the country to sell-out crowds. And Susan even pulls out fun bits of Oscar history with a letter from “Edie” to Oscar attendees/presenters at the 40th Academy Awards.
