Lindsay Anderson: Revolutionary Romantic August 15 - 21, 2008 “AN OUTSPOKENLY IMPASSIONED REBEL… Mr. Anderson took no prisoners.” - Stephen Holden, The New York Times “No one else has made films like If.... and O Lucky Man! They’re products of their time, unquestionably, but also fruits of a unique imagination… His films conjure up an alternate vision of what British cinema could have been.” - Steve Erickson, Moving Image Source A showcase of the director’s varied contributions to film — six movies he directed & two works he championed in print, by the American filmmaker he most admired: John Ford. Presented in conjunction with the premiere engagement of Never Apologize, Malcolm McDowell's celebration of his friendship with Lindsay Anderson.

More on Lindsay Anderson Born in Bangalore, India, educated at Cheltenham College and Wadham College of Oxford University, and a member of the King’s Royal Rifle Corps during World War II, Lindsay Anderson began his film career in the late ’40s as editor of the highly influential film magazine, Sequence. He became a leading figure (along with his friends, filmmakers Karel Reisz and Tony Richardson) in England’s Free Cinema movement, which challenged audiences and critics to respond personally to film, while his essays in some of England’s most prestigious publications established him as an shrewd and biting commentator. Anderson directed a series of documentary films in the late ’40s and throughout the ’50s which led him to both international recognition—including an Academy Award for documentary short subject for Thursday’s Children (1954)—and the opportunity to direct a fictional narrative feature. Based on a novel by David Storey, This Sporting Life (1963) became one of the most significant entrants in England’s groundbreaking Kitchen Sink Realism movement. Stars Richard Harris and Rachel Roberts were both nominated for Academy Awards for their performances, while the film launched Anderson and Storey’s frequent collaborations for both stage and screen, including the theatrical and film productions of In Celebration, the latter starring Alan Bates and Brian Cox.
