Cameramen and women discuss the craft and art of cinematography and of the "DP" (the director of photography), illustrating their points with clips from 100 films, from Birth of a Nation to Do the Right Thing. Themes: the DP tells people where to look; changes in movies (the arrival of sound, color, and wide screens) required creative responses from DPs; and, these artisans constantly invent new equipment and try new things, with wonderful results. The narration takes us through the identifiable studio styles of the 30s, the emergence of noir, the New York look, and the impact of Europeans. Citizen Kane, The Conformist, and Gordon Willis get special attention. close

The project of the British Film Institute “Cinema Age” was conceived as a collection of personal opinions of the most prominent and influential figures of world cinema, each of whom could share his thoughts on the path traveled and prospects of cinematography of his own country. From Hitchcock’s Blackmail to Four Weddings and a Funeral, Stephen Frears offers an elegant and witty answer to François Truffaut’s famous statement that the words “English” and “cinema” don’t seem to go together. Of course they do! With Gavin Lambert and Alexander McKendrick, Frears tells us about English cinema in the twenties and fifties. With his contemporaries Michael Upted and Alan Parker, he discusses the complex relationship between film and television in the sixties, marked by a special love-hate attitude of British filmmakers to Hollywood. close
