Derek Jarman: Super8

The British painter, filmmaker, set designer and author Derek Jarman is well-known to a wide audience, particularly as the director of distinctive films and music videos. Less widely known, yet a decisive part of his oeuvre, are the Super 8 films that Jarman made in the 1970s and 1980s. Recorded from the subjective-personal perspective of his handheld camera, the staged compositions convey Jarman’s artistic position, in which life and art constantly, and naturally, connect with one another. The stills from Derek Jarman’s Super 8 films are published here as a series for the first time.
