History
Tom Pevsner was a producer, director and screenplay writer, the son of the noted art and architecture scholar Sir Nikolaus Pevsner.
Pevsner served in the Army from 1944-48 and studied Modern Languages at Cambridge before entering the film industry at Ealing Studios in 1951. He donated his collection to the Northern Film School after interacting with the staff and students during the assessment work he was undertaking. The collection was first placed in the City Campus Library in 2005, and he wished it would be made available to film scholars.
The collection includes film scripts, screenplays, and storyboards, many annotated by Pevsner and others. These give a rare insight into the workings of film production. The films cover a large period of British film-making, ranging from the 1950s to the 1990s, and include Ealing Studios' "The Ladykillers" to James Bond and "Goldeneye."
