screening in Brazil, where it was never broadcast on TV. But, universities and political groups obtained copies and showed it unofficially (and, after a court case in 1995), officially through the 1990s. With the internet boom of the early 21st century, the film was distributed digitally, including being put on sharing networks. It has been seen more than 600,000 times, according to counts just on YouTube and Google. Tribute by Tony Rayns Hartog was a unique figure in what passes for British film culture. He was a perennial outsider who spent most of his life dreaming up alternatives to the mainstream orthodoxies, but nonetheless took a serious academic interest in the political and economic structures of the film industry. He was also one of the very few British film-makers with an informed and passionate commitment to non-British cinemas, especially those of Africa, the Middle East and South America. And he was a lifelong opponent of censorship, the first British director to have a film screened in the 'Directors' Fortnight' at the Cannes Film Festival, and a consultant to the Frelimo government on setting up a state film industry in MozambiqueObituary, The Independent, 20 August 1992 Filmography (selected) As director Beyond Citizen Kane (1993) Brazil: Cinema, Sex and the Generals (made 1985 but censored, eventually transmitted 1995) Nicely Offensive (1991), (George Melly interviews Dusan Makavejev, whose 1971 Mysteries of the Organism had recently been broadcast on Channel 4) As producer Further and Particular (1988), directed by Stephen Dwoskin References 1940 births 1992 deaths Film directors from London English emigrants to the United States Film producers from London People from Chicago Alumni of the London School of Economics Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia alumni
