The Hollywood director's first films were premiered at the National Film Theatre in London
Tony Scott's short feature One of the Missing (1969), his own adaptation of an Ambrose Bierce story, was one of several films chosen to launch the newly built NFT2 screen at the National Film Theatre (now the BFI Southbank), in London, in 1970. It ran for the opening week. He later wrote, photographed, edited and directed Loving Memory (1971), financed by the British Film Institute and Memorial Enterprises, which we also premiered at the NFT, where I was programmer. After this and his film of the Henry James story The Author of Beltraffio, for the BBC, he shortened his name from Anthony Scott and abandoned "art" movies for advertising and his remarkable career in Hollywood.
