Take 100 presents an emerging generation of the most talented filmmakers around the world.

Following the format of Phaidon's successful 10x10 series, Take 100 features the best 100 emerging film directors as chosen by ten internationally prominent festival directors, including: Cameron Bailey and Piers Handling: Toronto International Film Festival; Trevor Groth: Sundance Film Festival; Kim Dong-Ho: Pusan International Film Festival; Li Cheuk-to: Hong Kong International Film Festival; Frederic Maire: Locarno International Film Festival; Marco Muller: Venice International Film Festival; Olivier Pere: Cannes Directors Fortnight; Azize Tan: Istanbul International Film Festival; Christoph Terhechte: Berlin International Film Festival; Sergio Wolf: Buenos Aires Festival Internacional de Cine Independiente. Each of the 100 directors is featured on two spreads, with one recent film and an original essay written by the nominating curator.
