Biography
PETER GREENAWAY (1942, Newport, Wales). On graduating he worked as a fine artist and editor at the British government's Central Office of Information. He directed numerous short films and documentaries which came to international attention. In his work he has often collaborated with composers such as Philip Glass, John Cage and Michael Nyman. His first feature film, The Draughtsman's Contract (1982), received enormous critical acclaim and established him internationally as one of the most original and important filmmakers of our times, a reputation consolidated by the films The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989), The Pillow-Book (1996). Consistent with his exploration of media and language, Greenaway's later films – 8½ Women, Death of a Composer (both 1999), The Man in the Bath (2001) and Tulse Luper's Suitcases (2002) rely on new media. He has regularly been nominated for the festival competitions of Cannes, Venice and Berlin. Alongside his films, he has also created numerous installations and multimedia projects. His filmography includes: A Zed and Two Noughts (1985), The Belly of an Architect (1986), Drowning by Numbers (1988), Prospero's Books (1991), Nightwatching (2007).
