Over a career that stretched across eight decades, Corman found acclaim for both his work as director — particularly his ‘Poe cycle’, a series of eight sumptuously realised films each adapting different tales by Edgar Allan Poe — and as a producer who mentored some of Hollywood’s brightest talents in their formative years.

This program brings together the complete ‘Poe cycle’, alongside a selection of his other significant directorial efforts and some of the key Corman-produced early works by such major filmmakers as Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Peter Bogdanovich that paved the way for the iconic New Hollywood movement.
