L'ATELIER DES CINEASTES - DE LA NOUVELLE VAGUE A NOS JOURS

This book of interviews was inspired by the desire to meet filmmakers of various ages, reputations, and experiences, and to simply give them an opportunity to talk about their world. From the New Wave on down to its heirs of yesterday and today: from Paul Vecchiali to Claire Denis and Jérôme Bonnell, from Jean-Marie Straub and Luc Moullet to Vladimir Léon, and from Alain Cavalier to Vincent Dieutre and Lionel Baier, three generations of filmmakers have passed on their legacies. They discuss their They talk about their different approaches as both artists and craftsmen, working alone or as part of a group. They describe how they work, how they dream up, think about, and direct their films, and how they "live" the cinema and its link to the world. Retracing their career paths, they share their creative experience – this always singular adventure which consists of giving life to a desire to film, an idea for a film – and they open the doors of their “studio” to bring readers a unique glimpse into the last fifty years of creative filmmaking.
