About the film
Looking for Lowry with Ian McKellen is a documentary film about the British artist L. S. Lowry and his work.
The film is written and directed by Margy Kinmonth and produced by Foxtrot Films Ltd and features Ian McKellen, Noel Gallagher and Dame Paula Rego. Visiting the Tate Modern store to view its Lowry collection the documentary asks why, despite his popular appeal, the Tate does not have any of its 23 Lowrys on show to the public. Lowry’s heiress Carol Lowry appears for the first time on film, describing her 19 year friendship with Uncle Laurie.
When Lowry died, he left everything to her in his will; the film features her own personal archive which was found in Lowry’s house.
