Karel Reisz began his media career as a journalist for 'Sight and Sound', and then went on to found the documentary film movement entitled 'Free Cinema'. His film 'We Are The Lambeth Boys' iconically gave a natural depiction of members of a South London Boys Club. This unusual take of film, documenting the leisure life of working class teenagers went on to represent Britain in the Venice Film Festival.
His first feature film Saturday Night/Sunday Morning used similar techniques to his early documentaries and put him firmly in standing as one of the great innovators of British Cinema. He went on to become a patron of the BFI (British Film Institute), and published a book entitled 'The Tecnique of Film Editing' in 1953.
