BIOGRAPHY OF MICHAEL APTED

Film director. Graduated in History and Law at the University of Cambridge, he worked as a researcher for Granada Television with the task of selecting children for the short film ‘7 Up’, which he himself directed, the progenitor of a series defined by the critic Roger Ebert ‘the most compelling long-distance documentary in the history of films’. In the wake of the consensus Apted has, over the years, continued the project by interviewing the same champion every seven years, thus giving life to the ‘Up’ series, winner of numerous awards around the world. For this activity Apted (in addition to numerous Emmys) won the ‘John Grierson’ award for his ‘extraordinary contribution to Documentaries and for the quality of the work done’. He made his feature film directorial debut with ‘Triplo Echo’ (1973) but made a name for himself with ‘The Girl from Nashville’, which earned him seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. Among his other films, ‘Gorky Park’, Gorillas in the mist ‘and’ Extreme Measures’.
