Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and the American Film Institute (AFI) announced TCM Presents AFI’s Master Class – The Art of Collaboration: David O. Russell and Mark Wahlberg will premiere on Tuesday, May 8th, at 10pm (ET). Russell and Wahlberg worked together on Three Kings (1999), I ♥ Huckabees (2004), and The Fighter (2010) and they’ll be discussing their collaborations “in front of an audience comprised of AFI Fellows studying filmmaking at the world-renowned AFI Conservatory.”
In addition to talking about their films, Wahlberg and Russell will discuss the movies that inspired them. “Wahlberg reveals that one of his favorite activities as a child was watching movies like The Roaring Twenties (1939) with his father, a teamster who would come home each afternoon between routes. Russell talks about his taste for movies that show both the light and dark sides of family life, as in It’s A Wonderful Life (1946).
The pair also discuss the themes and visual poetry of Francois Truffaut’s The Four Hundred Blows (1959). AFI’s Master Class is packed with clips from these films, as well as memorable scenes from the artists’ own movies,” says TCM and AFI.
