Paul Greengrass started his filmmaking career with a super 8 camera he
found in his art room in secondary school. Those short movies were
animation horror films he made using old dolls, artist dummies and the
general art room clutter.
After studying in Cambridge University he got into Granada Television
School and spent the first ten years of his career roving global hot
spots for the hard-hitting documentary series, World in Action. By this
time he became very interested in the Northern Ireland conflict.
In 1989, he directed his first fiction movie, "Resurrected", that won
an award in Berlin. He continued his career as a fiction filmmaker with
a series of TV movies dealing with social and political issues: Open
Fire (a police scandal about a policeman accused of murder), The One
that got away (about a military operation during the first Gulf War).
His documentary style became more dynamic and intense with each movie.
In 2002, Bloody Sunday achieved international acclamation and won the
first prize in the Berlin Festival. After that he has continued his
career in the United States with "The Bourne Supremacy" starring Matt
Damon.
