Marvin Borowsky Lecture on Screenwriting
The Marvin Borowsky Lecture was the first of the Academy Foundation lectures to be established and was inaugurated in 1974. Marvin Borowsky was a screenwriter and later a professor of screenwriting at both UCLA and the University of Southern California. The lecture was endowed a few years after his death by his widow, Maxine, so that, as past Academy President Fay Kanin put it, “once a year this theater can be filled... with people who come together to hear an accomplished screenwriter review the challenges, the frustrations and, undoubtedly, the joys of the work.”
