Anthony Wall
Anthony Wall has been directing and producing films for the acclaimed BBC Arts strand Arena for nearly thirty years. Since 1985 he has headed the strand as Series Editor. Under his guidance Arena’s witty director-led films have gone on to won awards and honours worldwide. These awards include nine British Academy Awards, four RTS Awards, the Prix Italia, an International Emmy, a Grammy and the Special Medallion at Telluride.
In 2005 Anthony co-produced the multi-award winning Bob Dylan: No Direction Home, directed by Martin Scorsese. Wall’s influence and the resultant prestige of the Arena strand have convinced the legendary music producer Phil Spector to allow Arena to profile him over the course of 2007.
