Ken Russell

Ken Russell was born in 1927, served in the merchant navy and then in the air force, studied dance and turned to photography before joining public television in 1959, where he made more than thirty films, including portraits of composers that were among the first to use acted scenes. His first two feature films for the cinema failed. Towards the end of his career, he struggled to find financing and shot, at his own expense, on video and on his own property, films with limited distribution. He died in 2011.
