Born in Trinidad in 1939, Sir Horace Ové, CBE was a British director, writer and artist who emerged in the late '60s and throughout the '70s to become one of the leading UK based black independent film-makers. A fact notable for his Guinness World Record for being the first black British film-maker to direct a feature-length film, Pressure (1975). He was knighted in 2022 and passed away in 2023 following a battle with Alzheimer's.
