Sean Graham

Died in 2015

Sean Graham was born in Berlin in 1920 under the name Hans Friedrich Hermann Isay, and studied at Peterhouse, Cambridge. From its foundation he headed the Gold Coast Film Unit, for which he directed and produced, with Basil Wright, the first feature film; an admirer of John Grierson, he nevertheless preferred the forms of popular cinema there to those of the documentary. In 1957 he made a film on the independence of Ghana. He died in London in 2015.
