Geoff Andrew has been passionate about movies ever since he was a student and saw Bergman’s Cries and Whispers during its first run in Cambridge, England. For over 20 years now he has been writing about cinema for Time Out Magazine, where he still currently serves as senior film editor, and for the last four years he has also been head of programming at the National Film Theatre. Earlier this year he enjoyed being a member of the Un Certain Regard jury at the Cannes Film Festival, and has also written a number of books on cinema, including studies of Nicholas Ray (wich will soon reappear in a new, slightly larger edition), Kieslowski’s ‘Three Colours Trilogy’, and American independent film-makers of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Other filmmakers he especially admires include Keaton, Vigo, Dreyer, Ozu, Hawks, Welles and, of those still working, Rohmer and Kiarostami – though of course there are countless others he could mention, since his enthusiasm for good movies remains undiminished after all these years.
