Welcome to the official Film/Art Gallery collection of original Lindsay Anderson vintage movie posters from his critically acclaimed catalog of timeless cinematic creations.

British feature-film, documentary, theatre director, and leading-light of the Free Cinema movement and British New Wave Lindsay Gordon Anderson (17 April 1923 – 30 August 1994) was most widely remembered for his 1968 film If, which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival in 1969, and also notable for playing a minor role in the Academy Award-winning 1981 film Chariots of Fire.

Anderson received a degree in English from the University of Oxford and became a founding editor of the film magazine Sequence in 1947-1951. He wrote for Sight and Sound and other journals while he began directing in 1948, where he won an Academy Award for his short documentary Thursday’s Children in 1995. He coined the term Free Cinema in 1956, inspired by John Osborne’s play Look Back in Anger (1956).

Anderson’s This Sporting Life (1963) was his first feature-length motion picture, adapted by David Storey. He also directed the premieres of Storey’s plays In Celebration (1969), The Contractor (1969), Home (1970), and The Changing Room (1971). His subsequent films are O Lucky Man! (1973), In Celebration (1974), Britannia Hospital (1982), The Whales of August (1987), and Storey’s The March on Russia (1989). He was long associated with London's Royal Court Theatre, directing premiere plays by David Storey, among others. Gavin Lambert's memoir about Lindsay Anderson includes his repressed homosexuality.

Anderson and other members of the movement took their themes from contemporary urban working-class life. He died at the age of 71 from a heart attack on 30 August 1994.
