The Kubrick Masterclass with Stephen Daldry
Co-presented with the National Film & TV School
Stephen Daldry talks stage to screen
After an early career in youth theatre, an apprenticeship at Sheffield’s Crucible, and appointment as Artistic Director at the Royal Court at an indecently young age, director Stephen Daldry’s move to film was the lucky result of some astute talent spotting by Working Title (the company behind Four Weddings..., Elizabeth and many others, and effectively the commercial face of the Brit film industry). 
Billy Elliot Daldry's feature debutGroomed for the movies by being handed a 3-picture deal – beginning with the short film 8 – Daldry triumphed with his debut Billy Elliot and follow-up The Hours which both achieved the double triumph of being showered in Oscar and Bafta Awards – and pulling in huge international box office crowds.
The Hours directed by Stephen Daldry from David Hare's screenplayNow back in London and at work on his third eagerly-anticipated feature after a brief return to the stage for the musical version of Billy Elliot, Stephen Daldry takes time out to give this special pre-SCENE Masterclass about the tension between theatre and film; about the skills needed to direct actors; and about maintaining a political edge in mainstream movies.
The Stanley Kubrick Masterclass series is presented by the National Film & Television School and The Script Factory, and supported by Skillset through the Film Skills Fund & Warner Bros Studios.
Throughout October
BAFTA + selected in-school sessions
Your Script, Your Actors
In a pilot for a major future education programme, we’ve joined forces with the First Light filmmaking initiative for 5-18yr olds and the LFF Education Team, to visit classrooms and explore how story ideas become big screen realities. In a BAFTA finale our young writers will have the chance to see actors workshop their scripts live. We have many more plans for education programmes in the future – join our mailing list if you’d like to keep up to date with these.
