Filmes

Joe Lycett: Summer Exhibitionist
Self
Art-loving comedian Joe Lycett joins artists hoping to make it onto the walls of the RA Summer Exhibition 2022, the world’s largest open-submission art contest.
Eric Ravilious: Drawn to War
One of Britain’s greatest landscape artists, Eric Ravilious, is killed in a plane crash while on commission as Official War Artist in Iceland in 1942. His life is as compelling and enigmatic as his art, set against the dramatic wartime locations that inspire him. This film brings to life this unique and still grossly undervalued British artist caught in the crossfire of war 80 years ago, whose legacy largely sank without trace, until now…
Brabham
Self
The story of the forgotten godfather of modern Formula 1—Jack Brabham—and a son's quest to defy the odds in the competitive world of international motor-sport once more.
Mr Understood
Creator
Sky Arts drama directed by Kate Hardie, based on conversations with Grayson Perry.
The British Guide to Showing Off
Documentary about British artist Andrew Logan as he attempts to put on the 2009 edition of his Alternative Miss World. The film also presents a history of the contest (which has run eccentrically since 1972) which was set up firstly as an excuse to have a good party, but has grown into a celebration of alternative lifestyles and sexualities. The documentary mixes archive footage, animated inserts, with talking head interviews and a fly-on-the-wall look at the organisation of the 2009 event
Grayson/Flowers/Jewels
Himself
A sensitive, self-reflexive love poem on film to Grayson Perry, who appears here positively radiating warmth at the camera, wearing make-up and a series of unusual necklaces.
