Erik Hedling, Christophe Dupin, Palgrave Macmillan, 2016, p. 120</ref>

Both Lindsay and his older brother Murray Anderson (1919–2016) were educated at [[St. Ronan's School|Saint Ronan's School]] in [[Worthing]], [[West Sussex]], and at [[Cheltenham College]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/murray-anderson-vj26whxtj|title=Murray Anderson|date=27 May 2016|via=www.thetimes.co.uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2016/04/28/murray-anderson-pilot--obituary/|title=Murray Anderson, pilot – obituary|date=2016-04-28|work=The Telegraph|access-date=2018-06-05|language=en-GB|issn=0307-1235}}</ref> It was at Cheltenham that Lindsay had met his lifelong friend and biographer, the screenwriter and novelist [[Gavin Lambert]].<ref name=":2" /> Lindsay won a scholarship for classical studies at [[Wadham College, Oxford|Wadham College]] at the [[University of Oxford]], in 1942.<ref name=":2" />

Anderson served in the Army from 1943 until 1946, first with the [[King's Royal Rifle Corps|60th King's Royal Rifle Corps]], and then in the final year of [[World War II]] as a [[cryptography|cryptographer]] for the [[Intelligence Corps (United Kingdom)|Intelligence Corps]], at the [[Wireless Experimental Centre]] in [[Delhi]].<ref name=":1" /> Anderson assisted in nailing the [[Red flag (politics)|Red flag]] to the roof of the Junior Officers' mess in Annan Parbat, in August 1945, after the victory of the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] in the [[1945 United Kingdom general election|general election]] was confirmed.<ref name="StandUp">''Sight and Sound'', Autumn 1956, reprinted in Paul Ryan (ed) ''Never Apologise: The Collected Writings'', 2004, London: Plexus, p218-32, 228, 226.

Lindsay returned to Oxford in 1946 but changed from classical studies to English;<ref name=":2" /> he graduated in 1948.<ref name=":1" />

== Career ==

=== Film criticism ===
Before going into film-making, Anderson was a prominent film critic writing for the influential ''[[Sequence (journal)|Sequence]]'' magazine (1947–52), which he co-founded with [[Gavin Lambert]], Peter Ericsson and [[Karel Reisz]];<ref name=":2" /> later writing for the [[British Film Institute]]'s journal ''[[Sight and Sound]]'' and the [[left-wing]] political weekly the ''[[New Statesman]]''.<ref name=":0" /> In a 1956 [[polemics|polemical]] article, "Stand Up, Stand Up" for ''Sight and Sound'', he attacked contemporary critical practices, in particular the pursuit of [[objectivity (science)|objectivity]]. Taking as an example some comments made by [[Alistair Cooke]] in 1935, where Cooke claimed to be without politics as a critic, Anderson responded:
{{quote|The problems of commitment are directly stated, but only apparently faced. …The denial of the critic's moral responsibility is specific; but only at the cost of sacrificing his dignity. … [These assumptions:] the holding of liberal, or humane, values; the proviso that these must not be taken too far; the adoption of a tone which enables the writer to evade through humour [mean] the fundamental issues are balked."<ref name="StandUp" />{{clarify|date=December 2017}}}}

Following a series of screenings which he and the [[National Film Theatre]] programmer [[Karel Reisz]] organized for the venue of independently produced short films by himself and others, he developed a philosophy of cinema which found expression in what became known, by the late-1950s, as the [[Free Cinema]] movement.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia | year = 2002 | encyclopedia = Encyclopedia of Contemporary British Culture | publisher = Routledge | location = London | editor1-first = Peter | editor1-last = Childs | editor2-first = Mike | editor2-last = Storry | title = Anderson, Lindsay | page = 23 }}</ref> This was the belief that the British cinema must break away from its class-bound attitudes and that non-metropolitan Britain ought to be shown on the nation's screens. He had already begun to make films himself, starting in 1948 with ''Meet the Pioneers'', a documentary about a conveyor-belt factory.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Hedling|first1=Erik|last2=Dupin|first2=Christophe|title=Lindsay Anderson Revisited: Unknown Aspects of a Film Director|date=2016|publisher=Springer|location=UK|isbn=978-1-137-53943-4|page=02|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CP1jDAAAQBAJ&q=Lindsay+Anderson+free+cinema}}</ref>

=== Filmmaking ===
Along with [[Karel Reisz]], [[Tony Richardson]], and others, he secured funding from a variety of sources (including [[Ford of Britain]]) and they each made a series of short documentaries on a variety of subjects. One of Anderson's early short films, ''[[Thursday's Children]]'' (1954), concerning the education of [[deaf]] children, made in collaboration with Guy Brenton, a friend from his Oxford days, won an [[Academy Awards|Oscar]] for Best Documentary Short in 1954.<ref name=":0" /> ''Thursday's Children'' was preserved by the [[Academy Film Archive]] in 2005.<ref>{{cite web|title=Preserved Projects|url=https://www.oscars.org/academy-film-archive/preserved-projects?title=&filmmaker=lindsay+anderson&category=All&collection=All|website=Academy Film Archive}}</ref>

These films, influenced by one of Anderson' heroes, the [[French people|French]] filmmaker [[Jean Vigo]], and made in the tradition of the British documentaries of [[Humphrey Jennings]], foreshadowed much of the social realism of British cinema that emerged in the next decade, with Reisz's ''[[Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (film)|Saturday Night and Sunday Morning]]'' (1960), Richardson's ''[[The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (film)|The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner]]'' (1962) and Anderson's own ''[[This Sporting Life]]'' (1963), produced by Reisz. Anderson's film met with mixed reviews at the time, and was not a commercial success.

Anderson is perhaps best remembered as a filmmaker for his "[[Mick Travis trilogy]]", all of which star [[Malcolm McDowell]] as the title character: ''[[if....]]'' (1968), a satire on public schools; ''[[O Lucky Man!]]'' (1973) a ''[[Pilgrim's Progress]]'' inspired road movie; and ''[[Britannia Hospital]]'' (1982), a fantasia taking stylistic influence from the populist wing of British cinema represented by [[Hammer Film Productions|Hammer]] horror films and Carry On comedies.<ref name=NYT>{{cite web|date=14 August 2008|author=Catsoulis, Jeannette|title=An Actor's Playful Tribute to a Dissident Director|work=[[The New York Times]]|url=https://movies.nytimes.com/2008/08/15/movies/15ande.html?gwh=ECE27E9A00BD814CBE1C6C8784888E14}}</ref>

In 1981, Anderson played the role of the Master of [[Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge|Caius College]] at [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge University]] in the film ''[[Chariots of Fire]]''.

Anderson developed an acquaintance from 1950 with [[John Ford]], which led to what has come to be regarded as one of the standard books on that director, Anderson's ''About John Ford'' (1983). Based on half a dozen meetings over more than two decades, and a lifetime's study of the man's work, the book has been described as "One of the best books published by a film-maker on a film-maker".<ref>David Castell, ''[[Daily Telegraph]]'', cited on back cover of UK paperback edition</ref>

In 1985, producer [[Martin Lewis (humorist)|Martin Lewis]] invited Anderson to chronicle [[Wham!]]'s visit to [[People's Republic of China|China]], among the first-ever visits by Western pop artists, which resulted in Anderson's film ''Foreign Skies: Wham! In China''. He admitted in his diary on 31 March 1985, to having "no interest in Wham!", or China, and he was simply "'doing this for the money'".<ref>Paul Sutton (ed) ''Lindsay Anderson: The Diaries'', 2004, London: Methuen, p434</ref> In 1986, he was a member of the jury at the [[36th Berlin International Film Festival]].<ref name="Berlinale">{{cite web |url=http://www.berlinale.de/en/archiv/jahresarchive/1986/04_jury_1986/04_Jury_1986.html |title=Berlinale: 1986 Juries |access-date=14 January 2011 |work=berlinale.de}}</ref>

Anderson was also a significant British theatre director. He was long associated with London's [[Royal Court Theatre]], where he was Co-Artistic Director 1969–70, and Associate Artistic Director 1971–75, directing premiere productions of plays by [[David Storey]], among others.

In 1992, as a close friend of actresses [[Jill Bennett (British actress)|Jill Bennett]] and [[Rachel Roberts (British actress)|Rachel Roberts]], Anderson included a touching episode in his autobiographical [[BBC]] film ''Is That All There Is?'', with a boat trip down the [[River Thames]] (several of their professional colleagues and friends aboard) to scatter their ashes on the waters while musician [[Alan Price]] sang the song "[[Is That All There Is?]]".

Every year, the International Documentary Festival in Amsterdam ([[International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam|IDFA]]) gives an acclaimed filmmaker the chance to screen his or her personal Top 10 favorite films. In 2007, [[Iranian peoples|Iranian]] filmmaker [[Maziar Bahari]] selected ''[[O Dreamland]]'' and ''[[Every Day Except Christmas]]'' (1957), a record of a day in the old [[Covent Garden]] market, for his top 10 classics from the history of documentary.[3]

== Personal life ==
[[Gavin Lambert]]'s memoir, ''Mainly About Lindsay Anderson'', in which he wrote that Anderson repressed his [[homosexuality]], was seen as a betrayal by his other friends.<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/lindsay-anderson-let-me-tell-you-about-lindsay-9247621.html Lindsay Anderson: Let me tell you about Lindsay] ''The Independent'', 21 February 2002. Retrieved on 1 January 2017.</ref> {{dead link|date=December 2022}} In November 2006 [[Malcolm McDowell]] told ''[[The Independent]]'':
{{quote|I know that he was in love with [[Richard Harris]] the star of Anderson's first feature, ''This Sporting Life''. I am sure that it was the same with me and [[Albert Finney]] and the rest. It wasn't a physical thing. But I suppose he always fell in love with his leading men. He would always pick someone who was unattainable because he was [[heterosexual]].<ref>Geoffrey Macnab [https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/malcolm-mcdowell-lindsay-anderson-and-me-424385.html "Malcolm McDowell: Lindsay Anderson and me"], ''The Independent'', 15 November 2006. Retrieved 11 May 2009. For Anderson's feelings about Richard Harris at the time ''This Sporting Life'' was in production during 1962, see Paul Sutton (ed) ''The Diaries: Lindsay Anderson'', 2004, London: Methuen, Chapter 3, especially p77-80.</ref>}}
