This documentary is showing in tribute to the brilliant artist David Hockney who died on 11th June. Exhibition on Screen worked closely with David make this film about his work back in 2017. From company founder Phil Grabsky:
"Sad news of the death of a great artist - David Hockney. I think the term 'great' gets thrown about a bit liberally these days but Hockney, for me, is deserving of the plaudit. One of his paintings (a copy) was on the wall of my school so he has been a presence all of my life. I am delighted we got to make a film about and with him. A life lived to the full in art."
Widely considered Britain’s most popular artist, David Hockney was a global sensation with exhibitions in London, New York, Paris and beyond, attracting millions of visitors worldwide.
As he entered his ninth decade, Hockney showed absolutely no evidence of slowing down or losing his trademark boldness.
Featuring intimate and in-depth interviews with Hockney, this revealing film focuses on two blockbuster exhibitions held in 2012 and 2016 at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Director Phil Grabsky secured privileged access to craft this cinematic celebration of a 21st century master of creativity.

Directed by debut filmmaker Seán Dunn, THE FALL OF SIR DOUGLAS WEATHERFORD is an offbeat, darkly funny character study starring Scottish screen legend and BAFTA nominee Peter Mullan.
The film follows Kenneth McKay (Mullan), a recent widower and enthusiastic tour guide at a dusty visitor center in the small town of Arberloch, dedicated to his alleged ancestor and notable Enlightenment figure Sir Douglas Weatherford. When Arberloch becomes a shooting location for a successful fantasy TV show and Sir Douglas’ local renown is threatened by the pop culture phenomenon, Kenneth’s world gets turned upside down and he takes it upon himself to preserve his legacy at any cost.
Anchored by a nuanced, standout performance by Peter Mullan, THE FALL OF SIR DOUGLAS WEATHERFORD is the story of a man struggling to find his place in the contemporary world; exploring themes of identity and loss through a tender, eccentric, and quintessentially British lens.

‘Do we get stupider as we grow up?’ In his wildly popular Broadway show American Utopia, David Byrne reflects on human connections, life and how on earth we work through it. He joins the dots with his music and it all starts making sense. Spike Lee here transforms the production into immersive, dynamic cinema that radiates with astounding performances, inventive contemporary dance and political urgency. American Utopia flows like an iridescent dream vision. Work by James Baldwin, Janelle Monáe and Kurt Schwitters is highlighted among exhilarating renditions of Byrne’s solo work, as well as Talking Heads classics.
