Review this video!
A feature documentary, this film explores the nuances of the universal art of visual story-telling. Director Jon Fauer, ASC, visited with 110 cinematographers from 15 countries who have worked in all sectors of the industry, including feature films, television, documentaries, commercials and music videos. Shot on 35mm film, the interviews were edited down to a 90-minute story. The lesson of this film is that there is no textbook or rules for artful cinematography. It is an art — like painting, writing literature or composing music. No two artists express themselves in exactly the same way. This is a must-see film for writers, directors, producers, actors and others who collaborate with cinematographers, or just enjoy great films. Their body language, animated facial expressions and eye of these 110 great storytellers reveal these cinematographers deeply held feelings about their art.

I enjoyed watching this video, the lighting on the interview (it is all interviews) was really well done. There is almost no technical how-to in this DVD. It gave a good snapshot on the craft and motivation of why these (mostly) guys became cinematographers. If you are looking for a DVD that teaches more practical application of cinematography, this isn't the one.
Very Inspiring for new cinematographers, Awesome selection.
