University commemorates Lord Attenborough with giant picture show

University commemorates Lord Attenborough with giant picture show. The twinkly face of Lord (Richard) Attenborough beamed across the Sussex campus this weekend to commemorate the first anniversary of the celebrated actor and film director's death. A selection of stills and sequences from his films were used to form a specially commissioned work to honour Lord Attenborough, who was the University's Chancellor from 1998 until 2008. Created by international video and projection designer, Nina Dunn, the work was projected onto the newly refurbished Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts on Saturday (22 August). Featuring many of Lord Attenborough's most iconic performances - such as Pinkie in Brighton Rock and scenes from Jurassic Park as well as some of his directing highlights from Gandhi and Chaplin - the work pays tribute to Lord Attenborough's contribution to the arts. To coincide with the event, never-seen-before family archive photos have also been released, revealing family gems from when Attenborough was a child and photos with his wife and children. Lord Attenborough's son, Michael Attenborough said: "I think it would be true to say that the film that Sussex University projected onto the side of the Attenborough Centre represents the multi-faceted personality that my Dad was.
