"Lauren Bacall, Martin Scorsese, Frank Rich, Richard Price, James Harvey, Isabella Rossellini and other leading actors, critics, filmmakers and scholars engage in discussions on a variety of topics that demonstrate the range and vitality of artistic dialogue that takes place at the Tribeca Film Festival. This volume provides a view into their explorations of romance in film, the crafts of acting and directing, the impact of science and war on cinema, the challenge of representing truth in non-narrative features and the role of New York as cinematic character as well as muse."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
