This project began a few years ago: the photos are from different places, different times and different cameras. As it continues to evolve, I look through old images, take new ones, crop images. Along the way, I realized that a random approach to arranging them was the way to go. Each of these photos is meant to be seen next to another, and in that way they become a sentence that forms non-narrative narrative, and that then becomes more than the single image. Each time the work has been exhibited, the curator has chosen from a larger group of photos, and then arranges an order. The series Stills For a Film Not Made (from which this book emerged) is an ongoing, ever changing project."The book is one version, arranged by me by selecting a group of images and letting them fall by chance. I kept pairs that worked and rearranged those that didn't. Like shuffling cards, the images found their own order."
“A lively memoir . . . a first-hand work of cinema history . . . the testament of a pivotal figure in American moviemaking.” —Martin Scorsese The list of films Irwin Winkler has produced in his more-than-fifty-year career is extraordinary: Rocky, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, De-Lovely, The Right Stuff, Creed, and The Irishman. His films have been nominated for fifty-two Academy Awards, including five movies for Best Picture, and have won twelve. In A Life in Movies, his charming and insightful memoir, Winkler tells the stories of his career through his many films as a producer and then as a writer and director, charting the changes in Hollywood over the past decades. Winkler started in the famous William Morris mailroom and made his first film—starring Elvis—in the last days of the old studio system. Beginning in the late 1960s, and then for decades to come, he produced a string of provocative and influential films, making him one of the most critically lauded, prolific, and commercially successful producers of his era. This is an engrossing and candid book, a beguiling exploration of what it means to be a producer, including purchasing rights, developing scripts, casting actors, managing directors, editing film, and winning awards. Filled with tales of legendary and beloved films, as well as some not-so-legendary and forgotten ones, A Life in Movies takes readers behind the scenes and into the history of Hollywood. “Charming and anecdote packed . . . popcorn for movie nerds.” —Newsweek “A deftly written recollection of an eventful and happy life in a precarious and, frankly, insane business; a remarkably clear-eyed look behind the scenes of moviemaking.” —Kevin Kline
