		David Terence Puttnam, Baron Puttnam of Queensgate, CBE is a film producer and politician.
		When the government opposed the amendment, Puttnam brokered a compromise — the introduction of a "public interest" test to be applied by the new regulator Ofcom, but without explicit restrictions.

	So what's David Puttnam ever done to you? Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		Yet it appears that Puttnam was privately hurt by the unsubtle mickey-take, not least because the award-winning young director had once written to him telling him he was his hero, and thanking him for starting him off in the film industry.
		David Puttnam is justly a hero to many, in the film industry and beyond.
		Puttnam, ennobled by Blair, would have been a visionary figure at the corporation and was thought to have been the choice of the Culture Secretary Chris Smith, who has quickly given him the consolation prize of heading Nesta, the Government's scheme to invest more in science and the arts.

	Lateline - 6/4/2000: Thinking Ahead. Australian Broadcasting Corp
		Renowned English film-maker David Puttnam -- now Lord Puttnam, as you've just heard -- is a champion of the creative imagination and he's taken that passion a step further as chair of the Blair Government's new General Teaching Council and also NESTA -- the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts.
		DAVID PUTTNAM: You have to start from scratch and look at the potential in many, many subject areas of new technologies.
		DAVID PUTTNAM: No, because I think the whole concept of what an artist is has got to be revisited.

	Bollywood should ask 21st century questions: David Puttnam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Puttnam, who is in India in his avatar as an educationist - chancellor of the University of Sunderland in Britain - is equally interested in seeing Bollywood succeed globally.
		Puttnam is upbeat about the global odyssey of Indian cinema, but he is not afraid to point the pitfalls that threaten this journey.
		Puttnam briefly flirted with Hollywood in the mid-80s and became the first non-American to head Columbia Pictures (1986 to 1988).

	David Puttnam
		It is a measure of his success that producer David Puttnam's name is more often associated with his films than those of his directors (anyone remember the director of "Chariots of Fire"?).
		According to Puttnam in the book, it is only when European producers manage to accord the same importance to distribution, marketing and exhibition as to production that they will be able to compete on an equal commercial footing as Hollywood.
		David Puttnam: To an extent I think it will always be in flux because the whole law of economics is that nations prosper at the expense of other nations.

	Fast Fade (David Puttnam, Columbia Pictures, and the Battle for Hollywood) - BOOKS
		Andrew Yule's anecdotal biography-as-memoir of David Puttnam's rise as an independent movie producer and brief run as head of Columbia Pictures, Fast Fade is a poorly written vanity piece that offers a minimum of analysis en route to being tediously repetitive and at least thirty pages too long.
		David probably did not realize it at the time, but The Mission marked the end of a major phase in his career.
		The list of films Puttnam "greenlit" as "outside the package"--that is, having a completed and approved script at the start of financing rather than the more usual practice of finding a premise and a bankable lead first, stewing over such piddling matters as story and dialogue later--is a long and lamentable one.

	INTERVIEW: Sir Producer Puttnam's "Life So Far"
		Anyway, Sir David pulled it off and agreed to discuss his wealth of experience in the movies with indieWIRE, from his influences in the 50's and 60's to the cinema's present problems with children, morality and censorship.
		Puttnam: It wasn't made for children any more than "My Life as a Dog" was made for children or "Cinema Paradiso" was made for children.
		Puttnam: My own life was largely formed by a movie I saw when I was very young indeed.

	Comunicación y Sociedad
		Además de ser un productor creativo, lo que diferencia a Puttnam de otros productores es su comprensión del cine como un medio de comunicación de masas.
		En este sentido, Puttnam argumenta que las películas tienen una poderosa influencia en la sociedad, y que por lo tanto el cineasta debe ser responsable de su responsabilidad social.
		In this sense, Puttnam argues that movies have a powerful influence on society and therefore the film-maker must be aware of his/her social responsability.

		The second segment, however, relating the corporate maneuvering that ousted Puttnam one year into a three-year contract will be of little interest to anyone not a film-biz insider.
		Puttnam was not a naive victim, however, but a complex, driven man who contributed to his own "fast fade." Despite the subtitle, over half this account is devoted to Puttnam's life and career prior to the Columbia debacle.
		Numerous associates are quoted about their relationships to Puttnam, but Yule does little to reconcile widely conflicting points of view and the man remains elusive.

		David Puttnam rose from a working-class background into the advertising business as a photographer's agent during London's Swinging 60s.
		After a few false starts in film, Puttnam hit his stride as a producer in two collaborations with director Alan Parker: "Bugsy Malone" (1976) and the Oscar-winning hit "Midnight Express" (1978).
		Puttnam would publicly regret the latter film's exploitative affect on audiences, and this unlikely "mea culpa" launched him as a responsible renegade willing to collide with stars or bankers....

		Producer David Puttnam valued artistry and the moral accountability of film characters over box-office returns.
		Puttnam avoided exploitation films and became aggressively dogmatic in his criticism of films such as Rambo because he felt the film's message morally irresponsible.
		He also showed little respect for the intelligence and moral fortitude of his audiences; eventually his ethical arrogance began to grate on those he worked with, and Puttnam was persuaded to leave Columbia -- with a $3 million golden parachute to soften the blow.

		Last Sunday saw the closing of Havana’s cycle of a British sports film week with the screening in Cinemateca de Cuba of well-known motion picture Chariots of Fire attended by its prize-winning producer Lord David Putnam in his first visit to the Island.
		It’s as if God decided to say, ‘This story deserves to be told’," stated Puttnam, who devoted 30 of his 65 years of age to the hustle and bustle of the so-called seventh art, which he gave up 8 years ago.

		Following that formula, Puttnam put the Columbia name on such films as The Last Emperor, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1987.
		But in his pursuit of reform, Puttnam alienated much of the Hollywood establishment.

		Puttnam's story moves from the early days of cinema and the rivalry between Edison and the Lumiere brothers, through the rise of the studio system, and up to the present day, with European filmmakers and politicians struggling to protect their industry and even their cultural identity from a triumphant and all-devouring Hollywood.
		In the process he introduces a host of colorful characters: from Goldwyn and Zanuck to Eisner and Ovitz.
		"Puttnam has a dry sense of humor, and most of his book is jammed with astonishing anecdotes and seething portraits of the personalities of film history."-- Newsday
