One Hour Intro/ Robert Bolt

This One Hour Intro will discuss the work of Manchester-born screenwriter Robert Bolt. First finding praise as a theatre writer, then collaborating on a series of memorably epic films with director David Lean before finding acclaim for his script for The Mission, Bolt’s sometimes controversial career often challenged the ambition and scope of British cinema.

Led by Andy Willis, Professor of Film Studies at the University of Salford and HOME’s Senior Visiting Curator.
