David A. Ellis has interviewed some of the most influential and
highly regarded cameramen of the last half century and more, and he
has assembled these exchanges in Conversations with
Cinematographers. While their names may not be known by the general
public, these men and their work have left indelible imprints on
the silver screen. Among those interviewed are several
award-winning artists: * Douglas Slocombe (Kind Hearts and
Coronets, Julia, Raiders of the Lost Ark) * Oswald Morris (The Guns
of Navarone, Fiddler on the Roof, Oliver!) * Christopher Challis (A
Shot in the Dark, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Top Secret!) * Billy
Williams (Women in Love, The Wind and the Lion, Gandhi) * Freddie
Francis (Sons and Lovers, The Elephant Man, Glory) * Chris Menges
(The Killing Fields, The Mission, The Reader) * John De Borman (The
Full Monty, Hamlet, An Education) * Gilbert Taylor (Dr.
Strangelove, A Hard Day's Night, Frenzy, Star Wars) * Jack Cardiff
(Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes, The African Queen) * Nicolas Roeg
(Fahrenheit 451, Far from the Madding Crowd, Petulia) * Alex
Thomson (Excalibur, Legend, Hamlet) * Walter Lassally (Tom Jones,
Zorba the Greek, Heat and Dust) * Anthony Dod Mantle (Slumdog
Millionaire, The Last King of Scotland, 127 Hours) Along with
several camera operators who were also interviewed, these
cinematographers recount their experiences on sets and reveal what
it was like to work with some of the most acclaimed directors of
all time, including Alfred Hitchcock, Fred Zinnemann, Carol Reed,
John Huston, David Lynch, and Steven Spielberg. With valuable
insight into the craft of moviemaking, this collection of
interviews will appeal to film professors, scholars, and students,
as well as anyone with an interest in the art of cinematography.
