Full Description
The third volume of the widely acclaimed Art of the Cut book series focuses exclusively on documentary editing, bringing together the experience and insight of more than 100 of the world's best documentary editors.
Continuing his work from the other volumes, Steve Hullfish has carefully curated extensive interviews with the most experienced professionals in their field into easily digestible topics and categories. Following a filmography that introduces the many acclaimed productions and their award-winning editors, the book weaves excerpted interviews into a virtual round-table discussion of the processes and essential elements of editing a documentary. These discussions are structured around the three major skillsets required of an editor: technical, artistic, and collaborative.
The book features expert insight from a deep and diverse set of voices, creating an invaluable resource for professional and aspiring editors who want to improve their skills and succeed in the field of documentary editing.
Films featured in the book include those by acclaimed documentarians like Ken Burns, Ron Howard, Peter Jackson, Errol Morris, Ava DuVernay, Werner Herzog, Raoul Peck, Alex Gibney, Mira Nair, Antoine Fuqua, Morgan Neville, and Questlove. Featured projects include Oscar-winners: 20 Days in Mariupol, Navalny, Summer of Soul, OJ: Made In America, and My Octopus Teacher.
