Academy Award-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis gives a speech and answers questions at his alma mater, Northern Illinois University, in 1998. The school, which Zemeckis attended in the early 1970's before transferring to USC, offered a class in which students analyzed and discussed his films in detail. This lecture covers each of the films Zemeckis created to that point, including Forrest Gump, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Contact and the Back To The Future trilogy.
Also includes footage of Zemeckis receiving a tour of the Northern Illinois University television department.
