Over sixteen years, he has created feature films as disparate and stylistically diverse as \u003cem\u003eWelcome to Sarajevo\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e24 Hour Party People\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eIn This World\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eButterfly Kiss\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Killer Inside Me\u003c\/em\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.In \u003cem\u003eMichael Winterbottom: Interviews\u003c\/em\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throughout his career.Collecting pieces from news periodicals as well as scholarly journals, including previously unpublished interviews and the first-ever translation of a lengthy, illuminating exchange with the French editors of \u003cem\u003ePositif\u003c\/em\u003e, this volume spans the full breadth of Winterbottom's notably eclectic feature-film career.Damon Smith, Brooklyn, New York, is a film programmer and editor for Babelgum. His work has appeared in \u003cem\u003eReverse Shot\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTime Out New York\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCinema Scope\u003c\/em\u003e, and several other publications.","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041600209239,"sku":"9781604738407","price":31.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781604738407.jpg?v=1750950947","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/michael-winterbottom-interviews-9781604738407","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
