HandMade Films
Featuring An Accidental Studio, a 2019 feature documentary on HandMade Films
Cofounded by former Beatle George Harrison in 1978, the storied production studio and distribution company HandMade Films gave new life to British cinema in the 1980s, taking chances on risky projects and first-time directors to bring audiences future classics like The Long Good Friday, Withnail and I, and Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits. Guided by the idiosyncratic visions of artists like Neil Jordan (Mona Lisa), Nicolas Roeg (Track 29), and Bob Hoskins (The Raggedy Rawney), the projects that HandMade championed were not always financially successful, but, in an era increasingly dominated by blockbusters and franchises, they struck a blow for fiercely original storytelling and creative independence.
FEATURING: The Long Good Friday (1980), Time Bandits (1981), Scrubbers (1982), Bullshot (1983), Privates on Parade (1983), A Private Function (1984), Water (1985), Mona Lisa (1986), Withnail and I (1986), Five Corners (1987), The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne (1987), How to Get Ahead in Advertising (1988), The Raggedy Rawney (1988), Track 29 (1988), Checking Out (1989), Powwow Highway (1989), Cold Dog Soup (1990), Intimate Relations (1996), An Accidental Studio (2019)

She's a drag. A well-known drag. We turn the sound down on her and say rude things.
