Award-winning British filmmaker Ben Rivers (Two Years at Sea, The Sky Trembles and the Earth Is Afraid and the Two Eyes Are Not Brothers) continues his fascination with a Scottish forest-dweller in this glorious new film.
Bogancloch is where modern-day hermit Jake Williams lives, nestled in one of Scotland’s vast highland forests. Capturing his daily life on different stocks of 16mm film, Rivers’ utterly mesmerising new film is a follow-up to Two Years at Sea, his previous portrait of Jake, but also stands on its own as an entrancing, dreamlike meditation on nature, solitude, the power of music and one individual’s singular approach to life.
