- Synopsis
- In Mark Cousins' meditative documentary, Lynda Myles, an influential connoisseur of cinema, reflects on her adventures in the film culture she helped establish. From 1973 to 1980, as the first female director of any festival, Myles transformed the Edinburgh Film Festival into a vibrant, iconoclastic mecca of discovery, championing the work of overlooked auteurs including Hitchcock, Sirk and Sam Fuller. In a book written with Michael Pye, she'd coined the term "the movie brats" to capture the movement that launched Scorsese, Coppola and Spielberg. She supported visionary cinema through her work with the Pacific Film Archive, and at Columbia Pictures produced THE COMMITMENTS and films by Stephen Frears. Myles served as head of fiction at the National Film and Television School in the U.K., nurturing a generation of talented filmmakers. Cousins' admiration of Myles is contagious; his dreamy, hypnotic film leaves us with a deep impression of a pioneering cinephile.
