In conjunction with the Clark's 50th anniversary celebration this summer, I'll be offering samples of my choice as the most exciting filmmakers now coming into their prime in a series called, "A Dozen Directors Under 50: Discovering Distinctive Visions in Film for the Decades Ahead."
I announce the list this far in advance because in coming months I will post mini-essays on each of the directors, their careers to date and why they made my cut. The list is not intended to be exhaustive, and there are a number of honorable mentions I'll get around to eventually.
