Peter Mullan

Peter Mullan was born in 1959 in Peterhead and grew up in Glasgow, the sixth of eight children of an alcoholic father. He taught drama in working-class neighbourhoods and acted for several British filmmakers before moving behind the camera at the age of thirty-nine, and he pursues both careers side by side. His films deal with the institutions that confine: the family, the Church, the reformatories. He has remained in Glasgow and is publicly politically active, which has cost him roles.
