Love him or scurry away from him, Tim Burton is certainly one of the most original, out-of-the-box filmmakers we have right now. MOMA (the Museum of Modern Art) in New York is currently hosting an exhibit of his work through April 26 2010. I’m not able to make it to New York, but in the meantime, I just caught a replay of his Thanskgiving interview on Charlie Rose (perhaps my favorite interviewer). It contains a great discussion of filmmaking and creativity in general, with many references back to his childhood plus early employment at Disney.
Above is a 30 second spot promoting his show at MOMA. Below are five of six segments of his interview with Charlie Rose on YouTube (I can’t find Part 1, but Tim himself doesn’t come on until 3:40 in Part 2 anyway). The last movie is an official “behind the scenes” piece on his MOMA show. Enjoy…
