JAN HARLAN, STANLEY KUBRICK’S LONG-TERM PRODUCER
This event will mark ninety years since the birth of the legendary film director, Stanley Kubrick. He was born on July 26th, 1928. Jan Harlan began working with him in 1968 as a researcher on the planned, yet never made, film of NAPOLEON. He went on to work as the executive producer on the historical epic BARRY LYNDON, which was released in 1975. Following this, they worked together on THE SHINING and FULL METAL JACKET. Jan was the executive producer of the final film that Kubrick completed, EYES WIDE SHUT, released in 1999. He also provided assistance to the director on A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. A.I.: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, which was directed by Steven Spielberg, following development by Kubrick, saw Jan as executive producer. It was released in 2001, the year which also saw the release of his feature-length documentary, STANLEY KUBRICK: A LIFE IN PICTURES. He has since acted as an archivist for Kubrick’s body of work and appears around the world, including at film festivals and special events, discussing the filmmaker. Jan is the brother of Christiane Kubrick, Stanley’s widow.

LEADING FILM DIRECTOR MIKE LEIGH
The highly respected film director and screenwriter Mike Leigh has received thirteen BAFTA nominations and six American Academy Award nominations. He has won four BAFTAs and was awarded a BAFTA Fellowship in 2015. In 1993, he was awarded an OBE for services to the film industry. His acclaimed work includes popular films such as SECRETS AND LIES, LIFE IS SWEET, VERA DRAKE, NAKED and MR TURNER. His renowned television plays include ABIGAIL’S PARTY and NUTS IN MAY.
His work often centres on the British working class and is done initially without any script. Mike and the actors improvise the characters and the scenes, whilst under his overall control. Before his work for the cinema, he directed nine plays for BBC TV, including the seminal AGIGAIL’S PARTY, which starred his then-wife, Alison Steadman. His first feature film, 1988’s HIGH HOPES, focused on a struggling working-class couple in London. His next release, LIFE IS SWEET, had a somewhat similar theme, as did others. The dark NAKED saw Mike winning the Best Director award at 1993’s Cannes Film Festival. In 1996, his SECRETS AND LIES won the festival’s highest honour, the prestigious Palme d’Or. Other notable films include CAREER GIRLS, TOPSY-TURVY, ALL OR NOTHING, ANOTHER YEAR and MR TURNER.
