A filmmaker’s archive in objects and reflections

Drawing on more than three decades of filmmaking, this volume gathers materials from Wes Anderson’s personal archive: notebooks, drawings, paintings, Polaroids, props, puppets, sets and costumes. The collection connects the physical traces of film production with the stories they helped shape. Contributions from longtime collaborators—including actors, composer Alexandre Desplat, musician Seu Jorge and music supervisor Randall Poster—add perspectives from across Anderson’s creative circle. An extensive interview with Anderson reflects on his films and working process. The book accompanies the first retrospective exhibition of his work, placing archival material and firsthand reflections within the context of that exhibition.

Book overview

An exclusive look at one of the 21st century's most iconic and distinctive American filmmakers, replete with archival materials and contributions from beloved Hollywood voices

An archive is always a time machine, but the archives of Wes Anderson take us on a journey not just through time, but through layers of stories and the experiences of storytelling--on paper and on film. This volume chronicles these stories with a deep dive into Anderson's personal archive, celebrating his 30-plus years in cinema. From the start of his career, he has maintained a rich library of notebooks, drawings, paintings, Polaroids, props, puppets, sets and costumes from his films. Presented here, these objects are enhanced and illuminated by Anderson's long-time collaborators, including actors Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson and Tilda Swinton; composer Alexandre Desplat; musician Seu Jorge; and music supervisor Randall Poster. The book also features an extensive interview with Anderson himself, reflecting on his films and working process.
