The program brings together artists and composers whose work has a particular relationship to the work of Tim Burton with commentators who will lead discussion about Burton's work.

Recalling his time working with Tim Burton in the early nineties on hugely popular stop-motion The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), South Australian Art Director, Deane Taylor, will kick of the series with a discussion of his role in the film and the creative challenges of making such a work.

Deane, whose concept artwork for the film also appears in the exhibition, will visit Melbourne for this special one-off event to talk about the craft behind this film facilitated by Assistant Curator of Exhibitions, Kate Warren.
