Derek Jarman: Life as Art (2004)

Dir. Andy Kimpton Nye/UK 2004/VIDEO/60 mins + screening with a surprise short!

Made with the co operation of Jarman's sister and closest collaborators Christopher Hobbs & Tilda Swinton, this documentary will make you want to see Derek's films all over again or start making your own Jarmanesque masterpieces. With plenty of surprises... from Tariq Azi's revelation of a gay tribe in Pakistan to Jarman's insistence that you only need 32 sequences to make a movie, this is a timely celebration of the life of an artist whose death from AIDS ten years ago marked the end of radical British art cinema. It also includes, naturally, the best bits of Sebastiane!
