Using his brilliant touch, compilation whiz Chuck Workman (Precious Images) has created a superb
feature on the first century of the cinema. Produced for HBO in association with the AFI, this
dazzling tribute is full to the brim with over 800 film clips which depict the history of American
film and its effect on audiences worldwide. Interviews with modern filmmakers George Lucas,
Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese give a sense of the impact of recent cinema, while classic
stars like James Stewart, Katharine Hepburn and Lillian Gish fill us with nostalgia for a time
when the silver screen offered a glimpse of fantasy and hope.
