David Fincher is an American film director and producer. His work has received countless awards internationally, including 40 Academy Award nominations, three for Best Director. His most recent, Mank, leads this year's Oscars nominations with 10 total. Fincher began his career directing music videos, including Madonna's Express Yourself (1989) and Vogue (1990), winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best Direction for both, and going on to make dozens of iconic videos spanning decades. His feature films, however, place him among the most acclaimed directors in the modern American film canon, including Zodiac (2007), The Social Network (2010), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), Fight Club (1999), Panic Room (2002), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) and Gone Girl (2014). Fincher has also served as the executive producer on television shows such as House of Cards (2013-2018) and Mindhunter (2017-2019).
The School of Art community is invited to attend these online 30-minute events in which Gregory Crewdson, Director of Graduate Studies in Photography, asks each guest a list of simple questions about artistic practice, and the anticipation of an end to the pandemic crisis.
