Steve McQueen at 80
The National Film Theatre in London has commissioned Tony to write and deliver a new lecture on the life and films of Steve McQueen to tie-in with the 80th anniversary of the year of his birth.
Provisionally entitled Steve McQueen: Hollywood Nonconformist, the 60-minute illustrated lecture will tie-in to a planned retrospective of the actor’s films, which Tony is curating. The season is his second collaboration with the NFT and follows the Richard Burton strand that ran throughout August 2009.
Meanwhile Lion of the Welsh, Tony’s lecture on the life and times of Richard Burton, is still touring locations across the UK. It will next be presented as part of the 1st Holmfirth Film Festival in May.
