Biografie

Michael Powell (1905–1990), pictured on the right, and Emeric Pressburger (1902–1988), renowned directing-screenwriting-producing partners, are two of the most intriguing figures of 20th century European film. Between 1939 and 1972 they made 24 movies under The Archers production company banner, including The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus, A Matter of Life and Death, and the legendary The Red Shoes. They repeatedly worked with cameramen Jack Cardiff and Christopher Challis and with art directors Alfred Junge and Hein Heckroth. In 2010 the 45th Karlovy Vary IFF presented a portion of their work in a tribute to the two great filmmakers.
