Marc Isaacs

Marc Isaacs is a British documentary filmmaker, living in London. His short film ''Lift'' (2001), which showed people using a lift in a tower block, was nominated for a BAFTA.

"Many of his 14 films to date have explored the divisions within the so-called 'United' Kingdom. He has probed multicultural life in London, traditionalist seaside backwaters, asylum-seekers and ex-pats in Calais, while venturing to Barking to gather white residents' attitudes towards their immigrant neighbours." Mike McCahill, in ''The Guardian'', described Isaacs as a "people person, locating strangeness, melancholy and joy in the urban landscape, and those who inhabit it." Provided by Wikipedia
