One minute story

Produced by the New York Times Magazine and directed by Solve Sundsbo, Fourteen Actors Acting answers the question ‘What kind of story can be told in just one minute?’

The brief black and white clips accompany the black-and-white portraits Sundsbo shot for “The Scene Makers: Actors Who Defined Cinema in 2010,” in the Hollywood Issue of The New York Times Magazine.

In their respective shorts, Matt Damon goes on a rant; Javier Bardem smashes things up; Michael Douglas reflects; Miss Portman undresses; Vincent Cassel dances and James Franco seduces himself.
