DOUBLE SREENING: DEREK JARMAN
MAY 25, 2023HONOR FRASER GALLERY
A double screening of Derek Jarman films with introduction and reading by Jamie Ross.


Derek Jarman (he/him) A pioneering gay filmmaker, Derek Jarman trained as a painter but became known for his film work, which pushed the boundary of experimental cinema and provided some of the first instances of explicit depictions of gay themes in film. His representation of queer sexuality draws on art history and gives a new twist to historical figures, all rendered with a contemporary, punk-inspired sensibility that captures the spirit of street culture in England circa 1970s and 1980s.
