Over sixteen years, he has created feature films as disparate and stylistically diverse as \u003ci\u003eWelcome to Sarajevo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e24 Hour Party People\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIn This World\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eButterfly Kiss\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Killer Inside Me\u003c\/i\u003e. But in this collection, the first English-language volume to gather international profiles and substantive interviews with the Blackburn native, Winterbottom reveals how working with small crews, available light, handheld digital cameras, radio mics, and minuscule budgets allows him fewer constraints than most filmmakers, and the ability to capture the specificity of the locations where he shoots. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eMichael Winterbottom: Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e he emerges as an industrious filmmaker committed to a stripped-down approach whose concern with outsiders and docu-realist authenticity have remained constant throughout his career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Collecting pieces from news periodicals as well as scholarly journals, including previously unpublished interviews and the first-ever translation of a lengthy, illuminating exchange with the French editors of \u003ci\u003ePositif\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume spans the full breadth of Winterbottom's notably eclectic feature-film career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Damon Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496858026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496858023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Damon Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46094422737151,"sku":"9781496858023","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_413c807f-1407-4ff4-989a-02cbca94fa81.jpg?v=1724844611","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/michael-winterbottom-damon-smith-9781496858023","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
