A passion for films

We're sad to report that Tony Whitehead, MUP author and film programmer at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff, has sadly died at the age of 46 following a battle with cancer.

These kind words come from Wales online,

'British screen comedy could have had few more affectionate and eloquent champions than Tony Whitehead. He will be remembered for his expertise on UK film and TV humour, but his lasting achievement, part from an enormous gift for friendship to all who visited Chapter, may prove to be his book on Mike Leigh, published by Manchester University Press earlier this year.'
