> Manoel de Oliveira, the oldest living active filmmaker, with a career that spanned nine decades from the silent era to the present, has died. He was 106. News of Oliveira’s death was confirmed on the website for the city of Porto, Portugal, where the director was born in 1908.
> Oliveira had completed only two features by age 55 but subsequently made 29 by the time he was 102. Even more unusual is that one of these films, “Memories and Confessions,” was not to be publicly shown, by the director’s expressed wishes, until his death — meaning that a new Oliveira film may be soon unveiled. The director’s most recent film, “The Old Man of Belem,” premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival. ____________________________

Bummer. I'm assuming I can find his earlier works somewhere, like Benilde or the Virgin Mother?

>>4304Yeah it looks like it was released. Karagarga is featuring all his films this month, including that one.
>>4274> “Memories and Confessions,” was not to be publicly shown, by the director’s expressed wishes, until his deathThat's pretty interesting. I don't know of other examples of that aside from Mark Twain.

Another one bites the dust! Richard L. Bare was best known for directing the TV series Green Acres. He had died a few days before Oliveria but his IMDB page was not yet updated.
Currently the oldest Western director is the 95 year-old Michael Anderson who made Logan's Run. His last project was The New Adventures of Pinocchio in 1999.

Michael Anderson dead at 98!
Lester James Peries just turned 99 a few weeks ago. It looks like he is still alive.
Most obituaries for Michael Anderson point out that
< Romeo and Juliet's Franco Zeffirelli, 95, is now the oldest living person to receive a best director nomination
