Биография
Stuart Cooper's films have garnered over twenty international awards, including the Silver Medal at the Venice Film Festival, the Gold Medal at the Moscow Film Festival, the Prix CIDALC Gandhi Peace Award, and two consecutive Silver Bears at the Berlin International Film Festival. He trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and appeared in films alongside Orson Welles, as well as in "The Dirty Dozen."
Cooper founded a London-based production company where he began writing and directing documentaries and feature films. He formed a partnership with the late Oscar-winning photographer John Alcott, who also collaborated as Stanley Kubrick's longtime cinematographer on "A Clockwork Orange," "Barry Lyndon," and "The Shining."
His war film "Overlord," rediscovered at the Telluride Film Festival, has become a classic. It has been theatrically distributed worldwide and released on an acclaimed DVD by the Criterion Collection. Praised by critics such as Roger Ebert, A.O. Scott, Joe Morgenstern, and Kevin Thomas, the film now appears on all-time top 10 lists alongside titles like "The 400 Blows," "The Seventh Seal," and "The Seven Samurai." "Overlord" was featured at the 2014 Cannes Classic Film Festival and the Lumiere Grand Lyon Film Festival, followed by an international Blu-ray release.
Cooper's film "Little Malcolm," produced by George Harrison, was remastered and released by the British Film Institute on DVD/Blu-ray in 2011 alongside Martin Scorsese's documentary on George Harrison. His cult film "The Disappearance," starring Donald Sutherland and Christopher Plummer, received critical acclaim upon its 2013 Blu-ray release by Twilight Time.
His mini-series credits include "The Fortunate Pilgrim" (NBC), an Italian Prize winner based on Mario Puzo's autobiography, starring Sophia Loren, Edward James Olmos, Hal Holbrook, John Turturro, and Annabella Sciorra; "The Long Hot Summer" (NBC), Emmy nominated, featuring Don Johnson, Cybil Shepherd, Jason Robards, Judith Ivy, and Ava Gardner; and "A.D. - Anno Domini" (NBC), an acclaimed twelve-hour, sixty-million-dollar mini-series written by Anthony Burgess, starring James Mason, Ava Gardner, Susan Sarandon, Richard Kiley, Colleen Dewhurst, Jack Warden, John Houseman, and Fernando Rey.
