ABOUT THIS SESSION

Turning a story into a visual experience is never a simple translation. In this panel, authors and screenwriters explore what happens when stories move from page to screen. They discuss what must change, what should remain intact, and how to preserve character, tone, and emotional impact while adapting a story for film or television.
