Derek
An exceptional documentary about film director Derek Jarman, whose retrospective is shown at this year's edition of Mezipatra. It is based on the elegy by Academy Award winning actress and his long-time muse Tilda Swinton “Letter to an Angel”, combining her narration, a very frank late interview with the director already dying of AIDS and rare exhibits of his art. Derek gives us a unique, personal portrait of an extraordinary man and artist, as well as a testimony of decades of queer life in England.
