About this movie

How do cinematographers capture the perfect shots? From natural light's limitations to the importance of director-cinematographer relationships, Keepers of the Magic foregrounds a unique discussion with a seamless amalgamation of cinema's most iconic sequences. Featuring interviews and analysis from the masterminds behind them, including Gordon Willis (The Godfather), Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now) and Sam Mendes (American Beauty), this doc is as much a tribute to their work as a thoughtful and intelligent expose into cinema's world-class visionaries.
