FRANC RODDAM
English filmmaker and a winner of BAFTA award (British Cinema and Television Academy) Franc Roddam was born on April
29, 1946 in Norton, Great Britain.
Roddam was graduated from London Film School and his first short film The Birthday (1969) was awarded the British Cinema
and Television Academy prize.
In the 1960-ies Roddam worked in advertising like the character of his film Quadrophenia.
In 1977 he became famous for his film Dummy which was seen by 14 million viewers. It is a sad story about a deaf and mute girl
Sandra, engaged in prostitution in the streets of Bradford. Geraldine James who plays the leading role was awarded Prix Italia and
gained reputation of a gifted actress.
An iconic film by the director Quadrophenia (1979) was loosely based on The Who’s 1973 album of the same name.
Roddam unlike the directors of his generation Ridley Scott and Alan Parker failed to gain foothold in Hollywood. His first Hollywood
film The Bride was a commercial flop.
Present activity of Roddam is connected with the British TV.
