The "Up" series of films by Michael Apted.
Film director Michael Apted will take part in a Skype session Friday night at Circle Cinema, answering audience questions about his acclaimed "Up" series of films.
"56 Up," the latest in a series of documentaries that began in 1964 and have found Apted revisiting the same group of British men and women every seven years since they were 7 years old, begins showing at Circle Cinema, 10 S. Lewis Ave., on Friday.
Apted will speak with the Circle audience via Skype following a 6 p.m. Friday screening of the film, in which he examines the progression of the people's lives now that they are 56 years old.
The opportunity to see what Neil, Suzy, Tony, Nick and the others have been up to since "49 Up" continues with multiple screenings.
Showtimes are available online at tulsaworld.com/circle. The film is not rated and has a running time of 2 hours, 19 minutes.
The British-born Apted, who turns 72 on Sunday, has alternated his "Up" films — a series regarded by film critic Roger Ebert as one of his top-10 motion picture experiences — with directing feature films in Hollywood for the past 30 years.
Apted's other films include Oscar-nominated pictures such as "Coal Miner's Daughter," "Gorillas in the Mist" and "Nell," as well as blockbusters including the James Bond film "The World Is Not Enough" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader."
