The British Guide to Showing Off

Documentary about British artist Andrew Logan as he attempts to put on the 2009 edition of his Alternative Miss World. The film also presents a history of the contest (which has run eccentrically since 1972) which was set up firstly as an excuse to have a good party, but has grown into a celebration of alternative lifestyles and sexualities. The documentary mixes archive footage, animated inserts, with talking head interviews and a fly-on-the-wall look at the organisation of the 2009 event
Released : 11th-Nov-2011

The Clearing

In this short film written and directed by Alexis Bisticas, the audience sees through the eyes of a man in the woods, following the distant sound of a saxophone. In a single take, the fluid steadicam shot takes the viewer on a surreal and poetic journey, as the walker comes across everything from family picnics to men in bondage suits.
Released : 9th-Jun-1994

Ostia

Ostia is a fascinating short film directed by Julian Cole and produced for the Royal College of Art, which reconstructs the events leading up to the murder of Pier Paolo Pasolini.

There We Are John...

In this revealing documentary, Ken McMullen creates an elegant portrait of artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman, based on an interview conducted by John Cartwright.

Despite the debilitating effects of serious illness, we see an artist with his inner vision unimpaired; still humorous, self effacing and disarmingly charming.
Released : 1st-Oct-1993

The Garden

A nearly wordless visual narrative intercuts two main stories and a couple of minor ones. A woman, perhaps the Madonna, brings forth her baby to a crowd of intrusive paparazzi; she tries to flee them. Two men who are lovers marry and are arrested by the powers that be. The men are mocked and pilloried, tarred, feathered, and beaten. Loose in this contemporary world of electrical-power transmission lines is also Jesus. The elements, particularly fire and water, content with political power, which is intolerant and murderous.

Lindsay Dances - Theatre and life according to Lindsay Kemp

A documentary that collects for the first time and in an almost anthological way the historical repertoire of the Lindsay Kemp Company's shows, from the end of the 70s to the 90s. With footage from the Rai Teche and private archives, and an intimate and touching unpublished interview conducted by the director in her home in Livorno. The documentary is unique in its kind because it collects for the first time in an almost anthological way the repertoire of the shows of the glorious Lindsay Kemp Company from Salome to Flowers, from A Midsummer Night's Dream to Duende and Onnagata, up to the last show Kemp Dances. Lindsay Dances celebrates one of the most original, creative, and innovative artists in contemporary dance theatre. The documentary was nominated by Rai for the 72nd edition of the Prix Italia 2020.
Released : 2nd-May-2020

Orange Juice

In the early 1980s, Jarman struggled to get feature film projects off the ground and invested his energies in different fields, including music videos. In 1984 he made the promo for ‘What Presence?!’ by Scottish post-punk band Orange Juice, as fronted by Edwyn Collins. Before the official shoot, however, he visited the location and made this tape, trying out shots with a newly acquired Olympus VHS camera. The warm colours and fuzzy softness of the format, plus the decision to shoot handheld, imbue this little-known, rarely seen artefact with a palpable directness.
Released : 1st-Jan-1984

Clause and Effect

Clause and Effect is a tape that combines documentary footage with positive images of gay men and lesbians to show the impact of Clause 28 of the Local Government Bill both on them and the wider community. The tape is framed by an exclusive interview with Derek Jarman who talks about the origins of the Clause, ‘its roots in the moral majority and their interpretations of the Bible’, the effect that it will have on the community and on his work as a film maker.
