The first book to bring together these interviews of master
moviemakers from the American Film Institute's renowned seminars,
"Conversations with the Great Moviemakers" offers an unmatched
history of American cinema in the words of its greatest
practitioners.
Here are the incomparable directors Frank Capra, Elia Kazan, King
Vidor, David Lean, Fritz Lang ("I learned only from bad films"),
William Wyler, and George Stevens; renowned producers and
cinematographers; celebrated screenwriters Ray Bradbury and Ernest
Lehman; as well as the immortal Ingmar Bergman and Federico Fellini
("Making a movie is a mathematical operation. It's absolutely
impossible to improvise"). Taken together, these conversations
offer uniquely intimate access to the thinking, the wisdom, and the
genius of cinema's most talented pioneers.
A rich companion volume to George Stevens, Jr.'s much admired
book of American Film Institute seminars with the pioneering
moviemakers of Hollywood's Golden Age, this time with a focus on
filmmakers of the 1950s to present day.
"The Next Generation" brings together conversations with
moviemakers at work from the 1950s--during the studios' decline--to
today's Hollywood. Directors, producers, writers, actors,
cinematographers, composers, film editors, and independent
filmmakers appear within these pages, including Steven Spielberg,
Nora Ephron, George Lucas, Sidney Poitier, Meryl Streep, David
Lynch, Darren Aronofsky, and more. We see how the filmmakers of
today and those of Hollywood's Golden Age face the same challenges
of both art and craft--to tell compelling stories on the screen.
And we see the ways in which actors and directors work together,
how each director has his or her own approach, and how they share
techniques and theories.
