Join BAFTA to celebrate the career of Stephen Frears, the BAFTA-winning director of The Queen, Dangerous Liaisons and My Beautiful Launderette. Established as a leading director in British cinema and TV in the 1970s and 80s, Stephen Frears has a keen visual awareness and compelling ability to tell a story. 

He has carved himself an international and extraordinarily wide-ranging career covering biographical dramas (Prick Up Your Ears, The Queen), adaptations (Dangerous Liaisons, The Snapper), Hollywood hits (High Fidelity), Oscar nominations (My Beautiful Launderette, The Grifters), television remakes (Fail Safe), indie thrillers (Dirty Pretty Things) and period pieces (Mrs Henderson Presents) earning countless BAFTA nominations and awards in the process.

Frears will be interviewed by BAFTA-nominated actor David Morrissey. The pair collaborated on the TV drama The Deal, in which Morrissey played Gordon Brown.
