Behind the Screen

Get inside the movies with these illuminating insights from the people who make them.

The movies can make us believe in magic, but what they really serve up is illusion: pull back the curtain and what's revealed is a vast enterprise of imagination, skill and invention. When it comes to feature films, a director may preside over a legion of hundreds of actors, artists and technicians. To outsiders - that's most of us - this complex world can seem mystifying and impenetrable. So an insider's perspective is worth its weight in gold, as these rare interviews and talks by filmmakers and performers show.
