Due to the many questions about the Jodie Foster thing last week:
It was held at the graduate film school at NYU. Ms. Foster's presentation was part of the weekly Chair's Workshop series, where people throughout the industry (usually directors) drop by informally to answer questions or show new work. This week is Anthony Minghella (recently people as Gaspar Noe, Daren Aronofsky, Oliver Stone etc... have done it). It's usually very hush hush, and notices go through a small mailing list.
There definitely was no video camera, unless someone did a camera-phone job, but I doubt it.
Honestly, she talked for hours, and I showed up late, so I'm not sure what she said at the beginning. She talked about how to work with the cardinal sins of filmmaking (children and animals), her experience on Spike Lee's Inside Man and the little prep that she did for it.
A nice moment was when she genuinely seemed stunned when looking at herself about 20 years younger in the scenes from The Silence of the Lambs.
Not much else to report.
