Leo Regan is an Irish filmmaker and author. Initially working as a photojournalist, Regan began his career with the book Public Enemies (1993).[1] He later became involved in documentary filmmaking, and in 2001 won a BAFTA for his documentary 100% White.[2]

Early life and career

Regan was born in 1963,[3] and grew up in Dublin, Ireland.[4]

He began his career as a photo journalist with the book Public Enemies,[1] which explores the lives of British far right skinheads in the 1990s.

In 2001, Regan turned his attention to documentary filmmaking[5] and won the BAFTA Flaherty Documentary Award at the (2001) 54th British Academy Film Awards for his documentary 100% White.[2] A 2002 review in Modern Times credited Regan's "single crew films" as going "back to observational basics – a good lesson in the current British climate of gimmicky constructed documentaries".[6]

In 2005, he received an award from the Directors Guild of Great Britain for his TV drama Comfortably Numb.[7]

In 2023, Regan released the last of a trilogy of films on his friend and collaborator Lanre Fehintola. The independent feature documentary "My Friend Lanre" premiered at Sheffield Docfest in 2023,[8] and was later screened at Curzon Cinema,[9] Cork Film Festival,[10] and Docs Ireland (2024)[11]
