When a film is acclaimed, the director usually gets the lion's
share of the credit. Yet the movie director's job-especially the
collaborations and compromises it involves-remains little
understood. The latest volume in the Behind the Silver Screen
series, this collection provides the first comprehensive overview
of how directing, as both an art and profession, has evolved in
tandem with changing film industry practices. Each chapter is
written by an expert on a different period of Hollywood, from the
silent film era to today's digital filmmaking, providing in-depth
examinations of key trends like the emergence of independent
production after World War II and the rise of auteurism in the
1970s. Challenging the myth of the lone director, these studies
demonstrate how directors work with a multitude of other talented
creative professionals, including actors, writers, producers,
editors, and cinematographers. Directing examines a diverse range
of classic and contemporary directors, including Orson Welles, Tim
Burton, Cecil B. DeMille, Steven Soderbergh, Spike Lee, and Ida
Lupino, offering a rich composite picture of how they have
negotiated industry constraints, utilized new technologies, and
harnessed the creative contributions of their many collaborators
throughout a century of Hollywood filmmaking.
