The Power of Myth at the Movies: Sovereign, Shadow, Magician, with special guest Christopher Vogler

"I think that the movie is the perfect medium for mythological messages. The medium is so plastic and pliable and magic things can happen.” -- Joseph Campbell, The Wisdom of Joseph Campbell (© 1997 New Dimensions Foundation) Tape 3, Side 1

In his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell outlines the Hero’s Journey, a motif of adventure and transformation, and explores the Cosmogonic Cycle, a mythic pattern of creation and destruction. These images continue to resonate, as their frequent appearance in movies attests.

At this free webinar with the Joseph Campbell Foundation, you'll learn about The Hero with a Thousand Faces and how mythic patterns appear in movies, focusing on the archetypes of the Sovereign, Shadow, and Magician. We are thrilled to welcome a special guest to this webinar, Christopher Vogler, author of the influential book The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers. Chris will share his insights about Campbell's work and these important archetypes. We'll also have time for Q&A with Chris.
