Film Directors
Film Directors
This section celebrates the individual contributions of directors and, more recently, producer/directors, to the development of the film and television canon and to film/video technique.
Producers of cultural meanings and innovators in filmmaking practices, directors more than any other creative team players are credited with developing film as art.
Auteur theory historicises film, but bios and filmographies of individual directors are useful for understanding different aspects of the filmmaker’s and cinematographer’s craft. And so many of them are such colourful characters!
