Director and Cinematographer Haskell Wexler on His 40 Year Career

Wexler won Academy Awards for his cinematography on "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and "Bound for Glory." He's been nominated for work on several other movies, including "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Matewan." Weller is known for moving easily between marginal, political films and more mainstream fare. He's the subject of a retrospective at the American Museum of the Moving Image in New York throughout April.
