Okay, this again. As with previous editions, this consists mainly of shots of actors and directors caught in off-camera moments during the making of a movie, sometimes off-set, at home and elsewhere. Some are candid while others are obviously posed for promotional purposes. I’ve indicated photographer credits when I know who took the shot.
