Born in Russia, stage director Alan Schneider worked primarily in the
U.S., and was best known for interpreting the plays of
Samuel Beckett. Schneider made very
infrequent ventures into cinema, the best-known being
Film (1965), an experimental silent movie
written by Beckett, made in 1964 with
Buster Keaton. Schneider corresponded with
Samuel Beckett for many years;
ironically, and tragically, he was struck and killed by a motorcycle in
London while crossing the street to post a letter to Beckett.
