HORACE OVE, CBE was the first black actor, filmmaker and photographer to breakthrough in the 1960's with his role as an extra in the epic Cleopatra. He went on to chart the Black British experience through his work in film, and was later declared a 'pioneer' by the British Film Institute (BFI) in its retrospective history "100 Years of Cinema".
