This is a past event
The next Elphinstone Institute ethnographic film is Two Years at Sea which will be followed by question and answer session with Jake Williams, the star of the film.
Using 16mm cameras, artist Ben Rivers documents the solitary existence of Jake, a man who lives in isolation in the middle of the forest in a remote part of Scotland. The film follows his unconventional life, capturing moments of profound beauty. Jake is seen in all seasons, surviving frugally, passing the time with strange projects, living the radical dream he had as a younger man, a dream he spent two years working at sea to realise.
Gracefully constructed, Two Years at Sea creates an intimate connection with an individual who would otherwise be a complete outsider to us.
The star of the film, Jake Williams, will be at the screening and taking questions afterwards.
