Don Levy

After Cambridge he was awarded the first ever film scholarship in Britain to study in the newly created Film Department of the Slade School of Fine Art under the leadership of filmmaker turned lecturer Thorold Dickinson.

He then made a number of short films for the Nuffield Foundation, including the experimental documentary Time Is (1964).

It was released in May 1968, opening at the ICA in London, subsequently being screened at film festivals.

In 1968, Levy took up a position at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University, where he stayed for two years.

He then moved to Los Angeles to work at the California Institute of the Arts until his death in 1987 by committing suicide.
