With this, his seventh collection of interviews with avant-garde and documentary filmmakers, Scott MacDonald proves himself an axiom of cinema. His achievement is astonishing. * David James, University of Southern California * MacDonald focuses his extraordinary interviewing skills on work that stares more than stipulates. Sublime documents, those films that make us gasp at the wonder of the world more than the genius of the artist, are a forgotten treasure, until now. Reading this book can only enlarge our love for what the camera sees when it looks afresh at the world we think we already know. * Bill Nichols, author of Introduction to Documentary, 3rd edition *
