BIOLOGY OF STORY

"Story is a living thing," says filmmaker and professor Amnon Buchbinder. In his new interactive documentary The Biology of Story, Buchbinder weaves together interviews with storytellers of all kinds—novelists, screenwriters, journalists, scientists, and more—into an intricate thematic web investigating the nature of stories.

Amnon Buchbinder is a film director, screenwriter, author and teacher. His work as practitioner and thinker spans narrative and experimental, cinematic and literary, fiction and non-fiction, and academic and commercial fields. He is an Associate Professor and former Chair of the Department of Cinema and Media Arts in the School of Arts, Media, Performance & Design at York University.
