Timeline
Murray Lerner (May 8, 1927 – September 2, 2017) was an American documentary and experimental film director and producer.
Lerner was born May 8, 1927, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Nacham and Goldie (Levine) Lerner.
Murray's father left the family shortly after his birth.
He was raised by his mother in Brooklyn, New York, where he graduated from high school.
Lerner attended Harvard University on a full scholarship.
He helped start a film production society at Harvard and began teaching himself the art of filmmaking.
Lerner graduated from Harvard in 1947 with a degree in Poetry.
His first feature-length film, released in 1956, was the underwater documentary Secrets of the Reef which he co-directed with Lloyd Ritter and Robert M. Young.
The filmmaker's break-through was the 1967 documentary Festival! which featured highlights from the Newport Folk Festival in 1963 through 1966.
Lerner filmed the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 in England in its entirety.
After the promoters declared bankruptcy, Lerner fought a four-year battle in the British courts, eventually winning the rights to his footage.
Perhaps the most significant of Lerner's works is the 1979 documentary From Mao to Mozart: Isaac Stern in China, which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary the next year.
From the 1990s through his death, Lerner used the footage to produce a series of documentaries centered on the festival, including Message to Love: The Isle of Wight Festival (1995) and separate films on performances by Jimi Hendrix (1991), The Who (1996), Miles Davis (2004), Jethro Tull (2005), Emerson, Lake & Palmer (2006), Bob Dylan (2007), The Moody Blues (2008), Leonard Cohen (2009), Rory Gallagher's band Taste (2015), The Doors (2018), and Joni Mitchell (2018).
The film was preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2000.
Lerner died of kidney failure on September 2, 2017, at his home in Long Island City, Queens, New York.
He was survived by his wife of 60 years, the former Judith Levine, his son Noah and two grandchildren.
