Projections 4: Film-Makers on Film-Making (Projections)

This book offers a veritable feast of comment by international filmmakers. Following the tradition of the previous three volumes, the centerpiece of Projections 4 is a diary by a filmmaker that encompasses the year in film. This year James Toback, the screenwriter of Bugsy, undertakes the diary. Photos.

The only cinema journal devoted exclusively to filmmakers' comments on their art, this issue of Projections features an interview with Louis Lumiere, the founding father of cinema; an exchange with Martin Scorsese on widescreen filmmaking; James Toback's journal on the making of Bugsy; a conversation with Ken Burns on the filming of The Civil War and Baseball; an account by Gene Kelly on dance in the movies; one of the last interviews ever held with the great Federico Fellini; and a lot more amazing material. This, as well as every volume in the Projections series, is a must for every film lover.
