Making a Scene (2013)

For this years Movies Issue The New York Times Magazine commissioned lines from an eclectic and talented group of screenwriters writers responsible for some of the best scripts of 2013 We asked them each to write a single line for us not a scene a script or a scenario but simply an intriguing amusing or captivating line of dialogue Then we gave these lines to one of the great movie artists of our time the cinematographer Janusz Kaminski a twotime Oscar winner Kaminski used these lines as inspiration to create 11 original very short films Each short evokes a style or genre of the cinematic past and stars an actor who gave an especially memorable performance in 2013
