Peter Watkins Read Bio Collapse
Peter Watkins is an English film and television director born in 1935. A renowned figure in the history of moving image art, Watkins is one of the pioneers of the docudrama genre. His works and ideas focus on mass media and our relation to as well as participation in the mediated world. Watkins’ films often use a combination of dramatic and documentary elements to dissect historical occurrences or possible near future events. In 2004, Watkins published the book Media Crisis, which discusses his ideas of media hegemony which he calls the monoform, and the lack of debate around the construction of new forms of audiovisual media.
