Jarman Shorts 1

In the years between 1969 and 1982, Derek Jarman made over 72 longer and shorter films using S8mm. In this programme we see some of his earliest work.

STUDIO BANKSIDE, edited entirely in camera, comprises of two films. The first is a colour study of the inside of his studio at Bankside, London (near what is now the Tate Modern) and the second documents the area surrounding his studio, now demolished. Featuring a soundtrack by Coil.

TAROT, features Christopher Hobbs, later designer of many of Derek’s films, as "the Magician" and Jarman’s then lover Gerald Incandela as "the muse".

ANDREW LOGAN’S MISS WORLD is a beautiful document of this underground alternative to the increasingly tacky beauty contest.
