Directors and Filmmakers

Kenneth Charles Loach is a retired English filmmaker, born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, on 17 June 1936. His socially critical directing style and socialist views are evident in his film treatment of social issues such as poverty in Poor Cow (1967), homelessness in Cathy Come Home (1966) and labour rights in Riff-Raff (1991) and The Navigators (2001). His film Kes (1969) was voted the seventh greatest British film of the 20th century in a poll by the British Film Institute.
