Vanessa Redgrave On Film (2012)

To complement a BAFTA event celebrating her contribution to cinema, CINECITY presented a short selection of Guest Director Vanessa Redgrave’s films from the 1960s.

Across five decades in film, Redgrave is widely regarded as the leading actress of her generation. She has starred in more than 80 films and been nominated for six academy awards. The 1960s set the tone for the whole of her screen career with a series of key roles in seminal films that expressed an era of social and cultural transformation.
