In a career spanning an amazing nine decades, the pioneering cinematographer has worked with pretty much anyone who is anyone in the movie business, from Alfred Hitchcock to Arnold Schwarzenegger. He cut his teeth as an actor, appearing in his first film, My Son, in 1918, aged just four, before moving on and up - and behind the scenes. In the years that followed, he helped introduce Technicolor to the UK in the 1930s. Jack has won a host of accolades for his work on classics such as African Queen, Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes, bagging two Academy Awards and a BAFTA fellowship - and he is still making movies - his latest project, the short film Lights2, wrapped earlier this year. On Sunday 26 June, he will take part in a question and answer session with film journalist and author Matthew Sweet, before introducing one of his films. Chris Daniels, of Bristol Silents, said: "Jack is loved and honoured by the film community, and has worked with a dazzling array of directors and stars. "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this living legend in conversation about his life and work." The 'Audience with...' session will be followed by a screening of The Informer - the 1929 film which kick-started Cardiff's career behind the camera. One of the last British silent movies, The Informer - set during the Troubles in Ireland in 1917 - will be accompanied live on the piano by Stephen Horne. An Audience with Jack Cardiff, Sunday 26 June, 2pm, at the Watershed. Tickets for the event and screening, priced at £8 (£5 concessions), are available from the Watershed Box Office. |
