# Alan Parker

> He made Pink Floyd's most hallucinogenic film, turned Irish soul singers into a phenomenon, and sent a young American to a Turkish prison in one of the '70s most searing dramas — all while refusing to settle into a signature style.

## Bio

Alan Parker spent his late teens writing ad copy and directing television commercials, racking up awards for creativity across a decade before he turned to features. He broke through with Bugsy Malone in 1976, then Midnight Express two years later, establishing a pattern he'd hold for thirty years: musicals one moment (Fame, The Wall, Evita), grim true-story dramas the next (Mississippi Burning, Angela's Ashes), with detours into psychological horror (Angel Heart) and family fracture (Shoot the Moon). His films collected nineteen BAFTAs, ten Golden Globes, six Oscars; Birdy won the Special Jury prize at Cannes in 1985. He was knighted in 2002, received BAFTA's Fellowship in 2013, and donated his archive to the British Film Institute two years later. He died in July 2020.
