Playing a Part: the Story of Claude Cahun

Lizzie THYNNE

Lizzie Thynne was born in London. She originally studied in English and Related Literature at York University. Theatre was her first love. She spent a year living in Florence, teaching English language and travelled between the UK and Italy for a few years. She did an MA and PhD research in English Renaissance Literature at Sussex University. Her entry into film was as Education Officer at the Tyneside Cinema in 1988 where she devised courses and events around the cinema programme, including for the first UK Lesbian and Gay Film festival. After studying film and television production as a post-graduate at Bristol (1990-91), she worked on both factual and drama projects for television. She began making her own films, After the Revolution (1994) and Child of Mine (1996), for Channel Four. Since then her work has often focused on how personal narratives are connected to wider political, social and legal changes.
