Katika miaka ya 1960, Allen alianza kazi za uandishi na utayarishaji wa filamu, ambapo alionyesha kipaji chake cha ucheshi na falsafa za kijamii. Filamu yake ya kwanza aliyoiandika na kuongoza ilikuwa "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" (1966), ambapo alichukua filamu ya kijapani na kuibadilisha kwa kuongeza mazungumzo mapya ya ucheshi. Hata hivyo, mafanikio yake makubwa yaliletwa na filamu "Annie Hall" (1977), ambayo ilishinda tuzo nne za Academy ikiwemo picha bora, muongozaji bora, mwandishi bora wa hadithi asilia, na mwigizaji bora wa kike kwa Diane Keaton. "Annie Hall" ni mojawapo ya filamu zake zilizopendwa sana na kuonyesha mchanganyiko wa kipekee wa ucheshi na uchunguzi juu ya mahusiano ya kibinadamu.

Allen anaendelea kuwa na ushawishi mkubwa katika ulimwengu wa filamu na ametayarisha zaidi ya filamu 50. Kazi zake zinajumuisha vichekesho vya kijamii, visa vya mapenzi, na filamu za kifalsafa. Baadhi ya filamu zake maarufu ni pamoja na "Manhattan" (1979), "Hannah and Her Sisters" (1986), "Crimes and Misdemeanors" (1989), "Midnight in Paris" (2011), na "Blue Jasmine" (2013). Mbali na kuwa mwandishi na mwongoza filamu, Allen pia ameigiza katika filamu zake nyingi.

Maisha Binafsi

Uhusiano wake na Mia Farrow ulivunjika kwa kashfa wakati alipoingia kwenye uhusiano na Soon-Yi Previn, ambaye alikuwa binti wa kumlea wa Farrow. Hali hii ilisababisha mvutano mkubwa na kuathiri maisha yake ya kazi na binafsi. Pamoja na hayo, Allen ameendelea kufanya kazi na kutoa filamu mpya kila mwaka.

Allen amepata tuzo nyingi na heshima kwa kazi yake ya filamu, ikiwa ni pamoja na tuzo nne za Academy na tuzo za Golden Globe. Anaendelea kuwa na ushawishi mkubwa katika ulimwengu wa sanaa na filamu, akiwa na mtindo wake wa kipekee na maoni ya kina kuhusu maisha na mahusiano ya kibinadamu.
