Woody Allen
Woody Allen (Disemba 1, 1935) ambaye jina lake halisi ni Allan Stewart Konigsberg, alizaliwa huko Brooklyn, New York. Allen ni mwandishi wa hadithi, mchekeshaji, mwongoza filamu, na mwigizaji ambaye kazi yake imeenea zaidi ya nusu karne. Alianza kujihusisha na sanaa tangu akiwa kijana mdogo kwa kuandika vichekesho kwenye magazeti na vipindi vya redio. Aliendelea na kazi yake ya kuchekesha kwenye vilabu vya usiku na luninga kabla ya kuingia katika ulimwengu wa filamu.
Katika miaka ya 1960, Allen alianza kazi za uandishi na utayarishaji wa filamu, ambapo alionyesha kipaji chake cha ucheshi na falsafa za kijamii. Filamu yake ya kwanza aliyoiandika na kuongoza ilikuwa "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" (1966), ambapo alichukua filamu ya kijapani na kuibadilisha kwa kuongeza mazungumzo mapya ya ucheshi. Hata hivyo, mafanikio yake makubwa yaliletwa na filamu "Annie Hall" (1977), ambayo ilishinda tuzo nne za Academy ikiwemo picha bora, muongozaji bora, mwandishi bora wa hadithi asilia, na mwigizaji bora wa kike kwa Diane Keaton. "Annie Hall" ni mojawapo ya filamu zake zilizopendwa sana na kuonyesha mchanganyiko wa kipekee wa ucheshi na uchunguzi juu ya mahusiano ya kibinadamu.
Allen anaendelea kuwa na ushawishi mkubwa katika ulimwengu wa filamu na ametayarisha zaidi ya filamu 50. Kazi zake zinajumuisha vichekesho vya kijamii, visa vya mapenzi, na filamu za kifalsafa. Baadhi ya filamu zake maarufu ni pamoja na "Manhattan" (1979), "Hannah and Her Sisters" (1986), "Crimes and Misdemeanors" (1989), "Midnight in Paris" (2011), na "Blue Jasmine" (2013). Mbali na kuwa mwandishi na mwongoza filamu, Allen pia ameigiza katika filamu zake nyingi.
