Adam Curtis

British producer, writer, narrator and director Adam Curtis is behind such television documentaries as The Power of Nightmares, Pandora's Box, The Mayfair Set, The Trap and The Century of the Self. Curtis' programs, though always about serious issues, maintain a sense of tongue-in-cheek humor and are characteristic in their extensive use of archive footage. In his film making, Curtis strives to to find meaningful connections between historical situations and often focuses on the impact different ideologies have had on modern society.The Guardian: The Exorcist (October 24, 2004)
