Timeline

1971

Karl Francis began making films in 1971, turning out mainly documentaries for television. He worked initially as a researcher and writer. He studied film at the late age of 26, having previously had an honours degree in Modern History, Politics & Economics. He wrote his own scripts and began directing following a deep disappointment at the way his film 'A Breed of Men', starring Stanley Baker, was directed. He went on to produce successful documentaries for television, including 'Weekend World' (presented by Peter Jay) and 'Second House' presented by Melvin Bragg. His series for the BBC - 'Man in his Place' - received brilliant reviews, which gave him showreels to sell his feature work.

1973

In 1973, he was blacklisted by the BBC for five years, so he made his own film after putting his house up for sale. It was called 'Above Us The Earth', and was described by critic John Berger as 'A film which is relentlessly and remarkably truthful. . . I know of no other film which has been made in which miners inhabit the film itself as if it were their own village. ' He subsequently acquired the rights to a Dylan Thomas short story and made his first feature film 'The Mouse and the Woman', which again received wonderful reviews and praise from David Putnam. The New Statesman described this First World War drama as 'Illuminated by flashes of raw visual poetry. ' The Sunday Express called it 'Stunningly acted' and 'eloquently photographed. . . turned by Francis' alchemy to golden dramatic value.

1985

He mixed successful documentaries, which include the hugely important 1985 film 'Ms Rhymney Valley', an extraordinary epic telling of the Miners' Strike for the BBC from the point of view of the miners. During the mid-90s, Karl Francis took on the responsibility of becoming Head of Drama for BBC Wales, but it was not for him. He then moved abroad, making films more often in Spain and Africa. His film 'One of the Hollywood Ten', starring Jeff Goldblum, received wonderful reviews, but given its left-wing sympathies had a limited distribution.

1996
