"Every frame is treated as a work of art and the viewer is given ample time to relish the beauty of the framing, lighting and composition." - Sarah Kent, The Arts Desk
"Some of the most impressionistic and downright transcendent images in cinema today." - Adam Stafford, The Skinny
Monday, October 27, 6:00 p.m. | Bogancloch is where Jake Williams lives, nestled in a vast highland forest of Scotland. BOGANCLOCH portrays his life throughout the seasons, with other people occasionally crossing into his otherwise solitary life. At the heart, a song, an argument between life and death, each stating their case to rule over the world. The film is without exposition; it aims at something less recognisable, a different existence of reality observed in discrete moments. A sequel to TWO YEARS AT SEA (2011), it charts a subtly changing life in a radically changing world.
