Derek

Directed by Isaac Julien

“The film used a treasure trove of interviews, archival footage and Tilda Swinton’s pointed meditations to conjure its subject, the late, great Derek Jarman. Julien’s shrewd strategy of permitting only Jarman himself to be the expert intensified his presence, so much so that it seemed as if Julien and Swinton had rubbed the proverbial lamp and released the genie, bringing Jarman’s radical cinema back to life.” B. Ruby Rich, The Guardian

 Isaac Julien & Javier de Frutos participated in QUN 2000 with an installation in Cornerhouse galleries.
