Chuck Workman is a documentary filmmaker from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. His 1986 film Precious Images won an Academy Award for Live Action Short Film; his work has also been nominated for Emmy Awards, Sundance Film Festival awards, and the Taos Talking Film Festival awards.

Precious Images is a 1986 short film directed by Chuck Workman. It features approximately 470 half-second-long splices of movie moments through the history of American film. Some of the clips are organized by genre and set to appropriate music; musicals, for example, are accompanied by the title song from Singin' in the Rain. Films featured range chronologically from The Great Train Robbery (1903) to Rocky IV (1985), and range in subject from light comedies to dramas and horror films.
Precious Images was commissioned by the Directors Guild for its 50th anniversary. Workman had previously produced two documentaries, The Director and the Image (1984) and The Director and the Actor (1984), for the Guild. Editing took two or three months to complete.
Precious Images features half-second-long splices from approximately 470 American films. Chuck Workman described the film's editing structure as "a sprint. You take a breath and you go."
Precious Images won the Academy Award for Live Action Short Film during the 1987 ceremony, where it was featured in its entirety. In 1996, the film was reissued with new scenes from more contemporary films up to that point. "Precious Images" was shown every 15 minutes within London's Museum of the Moving Image (opened 1988) but this very popular attraction was closed in 1999.

Director Bertrand Tavernier takes the audience on a deeply personal trip into the world of film via his new documentary, My Journey through French Cinema (Voyage à travers le cinéma français). Told through portraits of key creative figures, Tavernier’s documentary shares his half century-long love affair with film that began when he was just a boy. Augmented by his voluminous knowledge on the subject that has been a lifetime in the making, he details both the giants of his native cinema — Renoir, Godard, Melville — as well as some frequently overlooked contributors — Edmund T. Gréville and Jean Sacha — in a film full of observations and reminiscences that are an ingenious mix of the personal and the historical. My Journey through French Cinema was nominated for the Golden Eye Award at th...

Today's Guest: Chuck Workman, Stephen J. Kern, documentary film producers, In Search of Kennedy If MTV edited a presidential campaign video, it would probably look and feel a bit like In Search of Kennedy, a new documentary film by Chuck Workman and Stephen J. Kern. The movie applies a 21st century sheen to the most iconic of 20th century political figures, John F. Kennedy. It is incredibly au currant, with the 2008 Democratic references narrowed down to Obama and Clinton. The movie - which reminds us that, in 2000, even George W. Bush was sold to the American public as being Kennedy-like! - is crammed with familiar faces interviewed expressly for this project, including Norman Mailer, Tom Hayden, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Michael Moore, Garrison Keillor, Chris Matthews, Arianna ...

Directed by Chuck Workman, "Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles" looks at the remarkable genius of Orson Welles - the enigma of his career as a Hollywood star, a Hollywood director, and a crucially important independent filmmaker. Orson Welles's life was magical: a musical prodigy at age 10, a director of Shakespeare at 14, a painter at 16, a star of stage and radio at 20, romances with some of the most beautiful women in the world, including Rita Hayworth. His work was similarly extraordinary, most notably Citizen Kane, (considered by many to be the most important movie ever made), created by Welles when he was only 25. In the years following Citizen Kane, Welles's career continued to change as he made film after film (some never finished, many dismissed) and acted i...
