Besides the work of Tony Richardson, Woodfall was also responsible for producing several other important emerging British directors such as Ken Loach, whose extraordinary Kes went on to win the British Academy Award for Best Picture. Billy Casper (the remarkable David Bradley) is a sullen 15-year-old boy whose life with his dysfunctional mother and bullying older brother is transformed when he finds a young kestrel hawk. As he takes in the bird and starts to train it, the creativity and joy so long bottled up in the withdrawn young man suddenly comes rushing out.
Kes shows Ken Loach at his best, quietly observing a community far from the glare of the media, capturing its peculiarities and rituals while allowing us to get to know and understand how young Billy experiences life. Presented at the 1970 New York Film Festival.
