I was made an Associate of the British Film Institute many years ago and am the tutor in French Cinema at Morley College Waterloo London. I run French Cinema classes there and at other arts centres in Britain.

What students have said:

A somewhat belated thank you from both my partner and I for the delightful Sunday session that you gave to us recently on Renoir. We were both captivated and, time permitting, shall follow up some of the directions that you opened up to us.

Excellent Historical background

Great mixture of clips and conversation

Have increased my knowledge of French film and French culture

The most enjoyable course I have done in England

Interesting and thought provoking

Previously knowing nothing about the subject I now feel confident to discuss  the evolution of French Cinema

Improved my cultural awareness and ability to interpret cinema

Endlessly fascinating

This web site is intended for my students in London and those interested in learning more about the history of French Cinema.
