Behind the Screens’ Bonus Feature: Deleted Scenes from Interviews With Movie Curators

In true cinematic fashion, for our first year-end “Behind the Screens” column, we’ve decided to bring you our best “deleted scenes,” insightful and fascinating interview outtakes that just didn’t quite fit into their respective articles. Much as we love doing with movies themselves, please feel free to debate whether we should have kept them in or should incorporate them later in the form of an “Ultimate Special Collector’s Expanded Edition Director’s Cut.” If you’d like to read the original interviews (or if you just need to refresh your memory), click on each name to be redirected.

LIVERPOOL, UNITED KINGDOM - APRIL 04: Yoko Ono poses next to 'The Wish Tree', one of her art installations at The Bluecoat Display Centre on April, 2008 in Liverpool, England. The Wish Tree invites viewers to write their wishes on labels that are then fixed to the branches. Yoko Ono returned to perform and display her art at The Bluecoat 40 years after she first exhibited there in 1967 to celebrate the re-opening of the UK's oldest arts centre after a GBP 12.5 million refurbishment.
