Sir Alan Parker CBE
was an English filmmaker. His early career, beginning in his late
teens, was spent as a copywriter and director of television
advertisements. After about ten years of filming adverts, many of which
won awards for creativity, he began screenwriting and directing films.
By 1968, Parker had moved from copywriting to successfully directing
numerous television advertisements. In 1970, he joined Alan Marshall to
establish a company to make advertisements. That company eventually
became one of Britain's best commercial production houses, winning
nearly every major national and international award open to it. Among their award-winning adverts were the UK Cinzano vermouth advertisement (starring Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter), and a Heineken advert which used one hundred actors. Parker credited his years writing and directing adverts for his later success as a film director:
Looking
back, I came from a generation of filmmakers who couldn't have really
started anywhere but commercials, because we had no film industry in the
United Kingdom at the time. People like Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Adrian Lyne, Hugh Hudson, and myself. So commercials proved to be incredibly important
Parker was known for using a wide range of filmmaking styles and working in differing genres. He directed musicals, including Bugsy Malone (1976), Fame (1980), Pink Floyd – The Wall (1982), The Commitments (1991) and Evita (1996); true-story dramas, including Midnight Express (1978), Mississippi Burning (1988), Come See the Paradise (1990) and Angela's Ashes (1999); family dramas, including Shoot the Moon (1982), and horrors and thrillers including Angel Heart (1987) and The Life of David Gale (2003).
His films won nineteen BAFTA awards, ten Golden Globes and six Academy Awards.
He died aged 76 in 2020.
