Timeline

1947

Lynda Myles (born 2 May 1947) is a British writer and producer.

1967

On September 4, 1967, Myles and her then boyfriend, David Will, wrote a letter to the editor of The Scotsman newspaper that was critical of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

The students were invited to work with festival director Murray Grigor, which they did, with great impact, as their focus was on auteurs like Samuel Fuller and other influential American New Wave filmmakers.

1968

From Spring 1968 onwards, she began working at Edinburgh International Film Festival, first in programming, and then as a deputy editor of the festival.

1973

From 1973 to 1980, Myles was director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

She was the first woman director of a film festival.

1979

In 1979, together with Michael Pye, Lynda Myles coined the term 'the movie brats' which came to define a new generation of American film-makers, nurtured by watching and studying popular films themselves rather than by theatre or industry apprenticeship.

It was this generation whose work Myles had championed in her role at the Edinburgh Film Festival.

The term went into common usage, and was recently quoted by Steven Spielberg in several interviews regarding his work.

The argument underlying the phrase was made in her and Pye's study of this generation.

She was director and curator of film at the Pacific Film Archive, University of California, Berkeley for two years.

She was Senior Vice–President at Columbia Pictures.

Myles was appointed Commissioning Editor for Drama at the BBC for two years.

From 1990 to 1994, Myles was co-executive director of the East-West Producers' Seminar, a training program for young producers in Eastern Europe.

1991

She is most well known for her work as the director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival and for producing film adaptions of Irish writer Roddy Doyle's The Barrytown Trilogy: 1991's The Commitments, 1993's The Snapper, and 1996's The Van.

As a student at University of Edinburgh, Myles was active in Edinburgh University Film Society.

In 1991, Myles co-produced the first of three films in Roddy Doyle's The Barrytown Trilogy, The Commitments. She continued to work as an independent producer, making the second and third films in The Barrytown Trilogy, The Snapper and The Van.

1997

Myles produced the 1997 film of Simon Donald's play, The Life of Stuff for BBC Films.
