| Book Release - Filmmakers on Film: How They Create, Craft & Communicate by David Jenkins |
When I received a heads up about a new book called Filmmakers on Film: How They Create, Craft & Communicate by David Jenkins a little while ago my interest was piqued as I am always devouring as much as I can about the craft of film-making, especially anecdotally from people who take their vision from idea to screen (or sometimes don’t) also if the truth be told I have quite grown to appreciate how a well stocked library can serve as a reference for technique and insight into special interests.
Additionally, I was drawn in by the book's synopsis focussing on women directors - in particular Agnès Varda whose works I don’t really know - I know Varda is feted and has had a huge influence on film but not much more than that. So this seems like the ideal opportunity to gain some insight into the personalities and approach of film-makers I am not au fait with and broaden my knowledge.
David Jenkins is the long-running editor of one of London’s favourite film magazines Little White Lies, as well as having written for just about every film publication there is he has co-edited a book called What I Love About Movies, and written pieces for Blu-ray releases including John Ford’s My Darling Clementine and Robert Altman’s 3 Women so he knows his stuff. David Jenkins’ Filmmakers on Film: How They Create, Craft and Communicate was published on 5 May by Laurence King Publishing and is available now. I’ll have a review up as soon as I have had a chance to peruse the book properly.
Filmmakers on Film: How They Create, Craft and Communicate is a thorough exploration and celebration of the most innovative multihyphenates working in film. Through a curated selection of quotations, images and interviews, Filmmakers on Film reveals what matters most to the masters.
Discover how the giants of filmmaking - from Sofia Coppola to Agnès Varda, David Lynch, Ava DuVernay and more - developed their distinctive visual styles, the core ideas that underpin their practice and, most importantly, what their films mean to you.

To make a great film, you have to be a musician. To make a great film you have to be a photographer. To make a great film you have to be a novelist. To make a great film you have to be a dancer.
To make a great film you have to be a diarist. To make a great film you have to be an artist. To make a great film you have to be all of the above and more.”
