Horace Ové
Horace Ové, (born 3 December 1939), is a Trinidad-born British filmmaker, photographer, painter and writer.
One of the leading black independent film-makers to emerge in Britain since the post-war period, Ové holds the "Guinness World Record" for being the first black British film-maker to direct a feature-length film, "Pressure" (1975).
In its retrospective history, "100 Years of Cinema", the British Film Institute (BFI) declared: "Horace Ové is undoubtedly a pioneer in Black British history and his work provides a perspective on the Black experience in Britain."
Ové has built a prolific and sometimes controversial career as a filmmaker, documenting racism and the Black Power movement in Britain over many decades through photography and in films such as "Baldwin's Nigger" (1968), "Pressure" and "Dream to Change the World" (2003).
Ové's documentaries such as "Reggae" (1971) and "Skateboard Kings" (1978) have also become models for emerging filmmakers.
The actress Indra Ové is his daughter and artist Zak Ové is his son.
Playing Away
Playing Away is a 1987 TV comedy film directed by Horace Ové, from a screenplay by Caryl Phillips.
In the story, an English cricket team, fictitiously named "Sneddington" (based in Lavenham, Suffolk), invites a team of West Indian heritage based in Brixton (South London) to play a charity game in support of their "Third World Week."
According to Screenonline, "The gentle comedy of manners and unexpected reversal of white and black stereotypes in "Playing Away" contrasts sharply with the stylistic experimentation and the militant denunciations of racial prejudice in director Horace Ové's earlier feature, "Pressure" (1975).New York Times" reviewer Vincent Canby called it "witty and wise without being seriously disturbing for a minute".
The cricket match scenes were filmed at Botany Bay Cricket Club in Enfield, London.
