Description:
The Paley Center Seminars is an exclusive video collection of interviews with celebrities, television crews, and distinguished panels. It includes 300 filmed seminars from the acclaimed series held by The Paley Center for Media (formerly The Museum of Television & Radio) in New York and Los Angeles. These lively discussions feature the leading names in media discussing the creative process, contemporary issues in production, and issues such as the impact of the media on contemporary society. Topics covered range from presidential advertising campaigns to reality shows, from the writing process of “The Wire” and “Heroes” to Madeline Albright and Henry Kissinger on the media and foreign policy.
The completed archive will include more than 310 hours of video, with new content added each year in regular updates. This first release includes more than 75 hours of recordings, and includes seminars on movie editing, women in television drama, and representations of gay and lesbian characters, together with panel discussions with the cast and crew of both current hit shows (“Lost,” “House,” “24,” and “South Park”) and television classics such as “M*A*S*H” and “Columbo.”
Although television is the main focus of the collection, many of the seminars were based around documentaries, and so include extensive discussion of the topics covered by those documentaries, be that literature, cinema, music, opera, radio, politics, history or current events.
High-profile participants include J.J. Abrams, Madeleine Albright, Alan Alda, Robert Altman, Glenn Close, Stephen Colbert, Larry David, Tina Fey, Sally Field, Matt Groening, Holly Hunter, Garrison Keillor, Henry Kissinger, Michael Moore, Michael Palin, Thelma Schoonmaker, Aaron Sorkin, Jon Stewart, Joel Surnow, Kiefer Sutherland, Gore Vidal and Kurt Vonnegut.
