About the London Coordinating Committee

British Director Lewis Gilbert (Alfie, The Spy Who Loved Me) shares stories and insights of his career from starting off as a child stage performer, working his way up as an assistant director for the legendary Alfred Hitchcock, to directing his own acclaimed movies—including three James Bond films.

DGA members and guests have attended screenings followed by Q&As with the films' directors.

Director Herbert Wise (I, Claudius; Skokie) shares his personal and professional stories from a five-decade long career. Fleeing Austria as a child to escape the Nazis, Wise found a new home in Great Britain, eventually directing for the BBC for more than 20 years and creating award-winning movies for television in the 70s and 80s.
