약력

Born to a miner father and a seamstress mother in Barnsley, South Yorkshire in 1953, David Bradley is best known for playing Billy Casper in Ken Loach's 1969 film, Kes. Prior to this starring role, Bradley had only ever acted in school pantomimes and secured the lead in an open audition against thousands of children. Following the success of Kes, Bradley had to change his name to Dai Bradley on account of the actor David Bradley already having an Equity card in that name. Bradley turned to television appearing as the lead in two children's series The Flaxton Boys and The Jensen Code and guest roles in Z Cars, Nearest and Dearest and A Family at War. He appeared in several other movies as a young man in the tail end of the 70s including All Quiet on the Western Front, Zulu Dawn and Absolution but by the following decade Bradley decided to retire from acting and tried his hand as a writer instead. In recent years he has returned to the profession as David Bradley once more and has had roles in the film Hummingbird and the children's TV series The Dumping Ground.

Greg Davies: Looking for Kes
Self
Comedian, actor and ex-English teacher Greg Davies is a lifelong fan of Barry Hines's classic novel A Kestrel for a Knave, the story of Billy Casper training a kestrel as an escape from his troubled home and school life. In this documentary, Greg goes in search of the book's enduring appeal, travelling to Barnsley, where the book was set and where Ken Loach's famous adaptation, Kes, was filmed.
Macbeth
Porter
Entirely shot on green screen, Shakespeare’s Macbeth has been reinvented by director Kit Monkman (The Knife That Killed Me) in an exciting new film adaptation. Starring Mark Rowley, (The Last Kingdom, Luther). Monkman’s unique adaptation successfully bridges the gap between theatre and film to create a wholly new type of imaginative space. This radical new adaptation puts the audience’s engagement with the story centre-stage, amplifying the theatrical context of the original and creating truly innovative and thrilling cinematic vistas, whilst maintaining the language and themes of Shakespeare’s original play. Using background matte painting and computer modelling to generate the world in which the action plays out, the green screen allows Monkman to create his vision of a multi-tiered globe in which the characters play out their various fates.

Billy
영국 요크셔의 탄광촌에서 아빠 없이 배다른 형 주드와 엄마와 함께 사는 15세 소년 빌리는 또래 아이들에 비해서도 유난히 작고 깡마른 아이다. 신문 돌리는 일로 하루를 시작하는 빌리의 인생은 미래를 꿈꾸는 희망찬 청소년의 삶과는 거리가 멀다. 탄광에서 일하는 형 주드는 기분 내키는 대로 빌리에게 온갖 심술을 부린다. 형이 빌리 몫의 우유를 마셔버리는가 하면 신문 배달을 해야 하는 빌리의 자전거를 타고 나가버리는 바람에, 빌리는 아침부터 신문 가방을 들고 뛰어 다니면서 남의 집 앞에 배달된 우유를 슬쩍해서 끼니를 때운다. 빌리에게 외상 담배 심부름을 시키는 엄마 역시 빌리에겐 관심이 없다. 탄광촌에서 매일 고된 노동을 하며 힘들게 살아가는 형과 엄마의 유일한 위안거리는 주말에 친구들과 함께 술집에서 신나는 음악을 들으며 맥주 한잔을 마시는 것과 경마에 돈을 걸고 결과를 기다리는 것뿐이다. 공부엔 관심이 없는 빌리는 학교에서도 별다른 주목을 받지 못하고 친구들에게 따돌림을 당하며, 선생님께 혼나고, 벌을 받는 게 일상생활이 되어 버렸다. 그러던 어는 날 자유롭게 날아다니며 사냥을 하는 매의 모습에 매료된 빌리는 어미가 떠난 둥지에서 새끼 매 한 마리를 데려다 키우기 시작한다. 그 후 빌리는 매에게 ‘케스’라는 이름도 지어주고, 케스를 주의 깊게 관찰하며, 서점에서 훔친 매에 관련된 책을 보면서 케스를 돌봐주고 매의 성장 단계에 따라 체계적으로 훈련시킨다. 그러나 경마에 배팅하라고 준 돈으로 빌리가 케스의 먹이를 사버리자, 화가 난 형 주드는 케스를 죽여 버리고, 빌리는 둘이 함께 훈련하던 곳으로 가서 한쪽 구석에 케스를 묻어준다.
