NOTE:
Martin Scorsese received screen credits as an assistant director and film editor on
Woodstock
(1970), but was fired from the production before it was finished—an experience that to this day visibly upsets him. Subsequently, he was credited as an “associate producer” on another music documentary,
Medicine Ball Caravan
(1971), though most of his duties were as an editor. In 1972 he was credited as “montage supervisor” on
Elvis on Tour
. In this period he was the uncredited editor on several of his own films, including
Boxcar Bertha
and
Mean Streets—
because he was not a member of the editors’ union—and he also worked anonymously as an editor on several Roger Corman films. In 2001 he directed “The Neighborhood,” a segment of the television program
A Concert for New York
. His appearances as an interviewee on documentaries about movie history are too numerous to mention, and he also frequently appears as a presenter of DVD releases, as well on awards programs, on which he is often enough the honoree.
