Still image from Derek Jarman short film
Best known for his allusive, elliptical feature films, Derek Jarman also made Super-8 films throughout his filmmaking career. Numbering more than two dozen, these films vary widely in style, theme, and tone, yet, like many Super-8 experimental films, they tend toward the personal and the autobiographical. As with his features, Jarman’s Super-8 films often incorporate elements from classics and mythology, blending these with small moments to produce a continuous movement between the epic and the everyday and between the temporal structures of the grand narrative and the miniature moment.
