Roger Crittenden
After graduating from Exeter University with a degree in Sociology, Roger was chosen by the BBC to train as a film editor. After ten years in the BBC cutting rooms, during which time he received a special award for ‘sustained excellence as a film editor’, Roger was appointed as Head of Editing when the National Film School opened in 1971. He has been associated with the NFTS ever since, eventually becoming Director of the Full-time Programme, a post he held until three years ago. He is now a consultant and senior visiting tutor. He has taught around the world and in other British institutions. He has published several books, most recently Fine Cuts- the Art of European Film Editing. Roger is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
He and Adrienne, his wife of over 45 years, are the proud parents of two daughters and four grandchildren. Roger is currently working on a book to be published by Intellect.
