Looking for Richard is a 1996 American documentary film directed by Al Pacino, in his directorial debut. It is a hybrid film, including both a filmed performance of selected scenes of William Shakespeare's Richard III and a documentary element which explores a broader examination of Shakespeare's continuing role and relevance in popular culture. The film was featured at the Sundance Film Festival in January 1996^[1] and it was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.^[2] Al Pacino won the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing – Documentaries.
