IAC members will be sad to learn that Reg Lancaster has passed away.
He was a great photographer, a fine film maker, an inspiring club leader and a fine leader of IAC.
He was born in Manchester in 1935, and had been a film maker since 1970. He served on many juries at local,
regional and national festivals in Britain, and was a regular jury member at the Festival Mondial du Courts Metrages
in Huy, Belgium. In 2001 he was a member of the UNICA Jury.
When he lived and worked in Paris he formed European connections. He also worked with Vladimir Murtin - the former Czech citizen
living in the Netherlands - and Jan Schoonen a Dutchman. The trio made successful films like TANDEM and OLYMPIA.
He first attended UNICA at St. Nazaire in 1983. At that time Britain was not a member, and for years he and his
wife Annabelle were the only Brits regularly attending UNICA, while campaigning back home for Britain to re-join the UNICA family.
He seved as IAC Chairman in 2002-2004 and thereafter as President for several years.
He will be deeply missed.
