These are the films of British director, writer, producer and cartoonist Sir Alan Parker. Among many awards and a knighthood, Parker is the founding director of the Director’s Guild of Great Britain, and in 2013 won the honorary British Academy of Film and Television Arts Fellowship Award.    Parker is known for his humility as a director and has never considered himself an \u003ci\u003eauteur\u003c\/i\u003e: “I have total admiration for film crews. They are the true heroes of the filmmaking process, not directors.” He has worked alongside producer Alan Marshall, cinematographer Michael Seresin and the late film editor, Gerry Hambling. This book is the first study of his complete body of feature films (1976–2003).","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47162833961200,"sku":"9781476619279","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476619279_p0.jpg?v=1763608648","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476619279","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
