Introduction

Our People section includes hundreds of entries on key personalities from Britain's film and television industries, both in front of and behind the camera.

Many of our authoritative biographies have been licensed from The Encyclopedia of British Cinema (ed. Brian McFarlane, Methuen, 2003) and from Directors in British and Irish Cinema: A reference companion (ed. Robert Murphy, BFI, 2006). Others have been specially written for BFI Screenonline.
