Cineaste
Interviews 2:
Filmmakers
on the Art and Politics of the Cinema
Edited by Gary Crowdus and Dan Georgakas
Table of contents
Cineaste,
America's leading magazine on the art and politics of the
cinema, has been acclaimed worldwide for its interviews with
filmmakers and film critics. In the early 1980s, a collection
of some of the best of these was published as The Cineaste
Interviews. Now, Cineaste Interviews 2 takes on
the aesthetic and political issues that have dominated the
film scene over the last twenty years. The focus of this particular
collection of twenty-five interviews is on the role of the
director.
"In
an age of mindless celebrity profiles and fellating Q and
As, the interviews in Cineaste are among the most consistently
thoughtful, insightful, and thorough available anywhere. The
subjects are invariably articulate, and usually at the cutting
edge, aesthetically and politically, of moviemaking today.
We can rejoice at having these pieces preserved in book form."

"The interviews in Cineaste are simply marvelous.
They convey a host of intersting information and insights.
I learn a lot from these thorough and provocative interviews,
whether it be the director's subtle or outrageous turn of
mind, or the fate of some oftheir films in the marketplace.
Cineaste is certainly one of the best—if not the
best—film magazines in the country."

"Equally fascinating and informative, Cineaste Interviews
2 sets the standard for insightful discussions with leading
film artists about the social concerns, political implications,
and aesthetic decisions behind their work."

"Like the first collection of Cineaste interviews
this volume features no-nonsense encounters that avoid the
self-serving blandness, narcissism, superficiality, and fraudulent
objectivity so often characteristic of interviews that only
serve the industry as part of celebrtiy culture. The stress
in these interviews remains where it must be: on the social
uses and misuses of film, the creation and control of cuture,
the victories and the brutal constraints placed on the cry
for human freedom."
