Humphrey Jennings

Frank Humphrey Sinkler Jennings (19. august 1907 – 24. septembar 1950) bio je britanski filmski režiser, poznat kao autor dokumentaraca te kao jedan od osnivača pokreta Mass Observation (Masovno promatranje).

Rodio se u umjetničkoj porodici, čiji su članovi bili pristaše tzv. cehovskog socijalizma. Karijeru je otpočeo 1934. godine priključivši se GPO Film Unit, odjelu britanske pošte koji je proizvodio obrazovne, propagandne i dokumentarne filmove. Njegova najpoznatija ostvarenja su stvorena za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata. Godine 1950. je pao sa stijene na grčkom otoku Poros, gdje je bio snimao dokumentarni film o zdravstvu u poratnoj Evropi.
