Mark Cousins

Mark Cousins has devoted his life to the dissemination of film history using a fresh perspective in which cinephilia goes hand in hand with entertainment, a work that has earned him numerous awards. Between 1997 and 2000 he presented the BBC's cult film series Moviedrome and the series Scene by Scene, interviewing figures such as Scorsese, Bertolucci, Jeanne Moreau, Woody Allen and Lynch. Among his numerous documentaries and initiatives dedicated to film (such as the travelling cinema he launched in Scotland in 2009 with Tilda Swinton), the 15-hour film The History of Cinema: An Odyssey and Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema, in which he tackles 700 films and 183 female directors, and with which he visited Seville, stand out. He has also published several books based on the work carried out on his films, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. In 2021 he presented The Story of Looking and The Story of Film: A New Generation.
