Ken Wlaschin: Film historian and festival organiser who brought the best of world cinema to London
Author: By Phil Davison
Not only did he help put London on the map as a serious film festival venue
but he was the man who, according to his peers, brought world cinema to
Britain by setting his sights away from the UK or Hollywood and screening
movies from around the globe. Thus did the influx of foreign films to UK
cinemas begin, a tradition of which Britain has remained in the vanguard in
large part due to Wlaschin’s vision.
