”In so many ways it’s really simple, but actually it’s also a complex film, with so many layers and ideas. It’s a simple journey of a character telling his own personal story. And through that journey you learn about relationships, about Derek Jarman, and then you understand how super8 is actually a part of the story. Super8 and Derek Jarman, and The Garden are all linked… it shows the power of what can be said in 3 minutes of Super8.”
Asif Kapadia, Director “Amy,” “Senna,” “Diego Maradona”
Winner (BEST 8) – Straight 8 2020
Following a journey to Dungeness and Prospect Cottage, cinematographer Christopher Hughes reminisces about his life, his career, and his friendship with filmmaker Derek Jarman.
The film was originally made for and won Straight 8 2020. For the nature of the competition, it was shot on a cartridge of Super8 film and edited in-camera. No editing has been done to it, and the developed film looks exactly as it was shot in-camera, with all its little imperfections.
