BRITISH ACADEMY OF FILM AND TELEVISION ARTS – BAFTA
THE DAVID LEAN LECTURE 2004 AND 2005

www.davidleanfoundation.org
The David Lean Lecture is an annual event, which
began in 2000, and is funded
by the David Lean Foundation.
Each year the British Film Industry gathers for this
‘state of
the industry’ address celebrating the art of film given by someone who has
made a major
and distinctive contribution to the artistic development of the film
form. As the intention
is to promote film as art rather than mere entertainment, the
lecture offers a unique forum enabling a creative force in the industry to
have a personal voice.
Amanda Rayner Images produced the event on behalf of the Academy
for two years. It was the first time an external consultant had been used
for this prestigious lecture and part of the brief was to ‘turn it up a notch’.
The speaker in 2004 was renowned British Director John Boorman
CBE and in 2005 the seminal Director, Woody Allen.
