Basil Wright

Wright then turned his attention to producing (under his Realist Film Unit, founded 1938) and writing, but returned to directing in the late 1940s, again blending poetic and realist strains in films such as "Waters of Time" (1951), on the River Thames, and "The Immortal Land" (1958), about Greece.A noted film critic and noted lecturer, Wright has authored two books: "The Use of Film" (1948) and "The Long View" (1974), a history of the cinema.
