Derek Jarman began his filmmaking career as a set designer for Ken Russell's The Devils, and went on to make three of Britain's most unusual films of the Seventies: Sebastiane, Jubilee and The Tempest. Jarman's films reflect a rich talent and an eccentric personality. Jarman also keeps a film journal, a saga that began in the late Sixties and still continues. According to Vogue's Lucy Hughes-Hallett, “his home movies, if he ever gets around to editing them for public viewing, will make a fascinating record of a certain kind of hidden London life over the past decade. He thinks he has the first film made of the Sex Pistols... His interests are wide, his friends various and his appetite for oddity insatiable.”
Derek Jarman will discuss his films after the screening of Jubilee.
