Sir Steven Rodney "Steve" [=McQueen=] (born 9 October 1969 in London, England) is an English-born director, screenwriter, and video artist.

[=McQueen=] started out directing black-and-white minimalist shorts designed to be projected onto the walls of art galleries. He has often cited inspiration from Creator/AndyWarhol and Creator/BusterKeaton, winning the Turner prize (Britain's highest artistic honor) in 1999 for ''[[https://vimeo.com/115803652 Deadpan]]'', a short inspired by the infamous collapsing house stunt from ''Film/SteamboatBillJr''. [=McQueen=] has also dabbled in sculpture and photography, and received a great deal of acclaim for his 2007 work ''Queen and Country'', a collection of stamps commemorating all of the British soldiers who died fighting in Iraq between 2003 and 2008, though he considers the work incomplete as the stamps have yet to be released to the general public for use.

In 2008, [=McQueen=] made his first foray into feature films with ''Film/{{Hunger}}'', a drama about the 1981 Irish Hunger Strike, which received great critical acclaim, winning the Caméra d'Or (first-time director) Award at the Cannes Film Festival. He followed this up with ''Film/{{Shame}}'', a drama about sex addiction that received similar acclaim, particularly for the performances of Creator/MichaelFassbender and Creator/CareyMulligan. In 2013, [=McQueen=] released ''Film/TwelveYearsASlave'', a drama based on the memoirs of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery. This was [=McQueen=]'s most acclaimed film yet, winning many prizes, including the UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Picture, making Steve [=McQueen=] the first black director who have directed a movie that won the top prize[[note]]he did not, however, win Best Director. That went to Creator/AlfonsoCuaron for the film ''Film/{{Gravity}}''[[/note]]
