RICHARD JOBSON
Monday 31 March 2014, 6pm, Action Zone, National Media Museum
Richard Jobson is one of the most fascinating and innovative
contemporary British film directors. Jobson began his career as singer
with angular New Wave group The Skids. He then became interested in
art and formed the experimental rock group The Armoury Show. Jobson
became fascinated by the cinematic and made records of poetic/filmic
soundscapes for the cult Belgian record label Les Disques Du
Crépuscule, inspired by the writings and films of Marguerite Duras.
His first feature 16 Years of Alcohol (2003), was a cult hit. Based on
his novel of the same name, it told the harrowing story of a violent,
dysfunctional upbringing tinged with the hope of redemption.
More recently he has explored the haunting nature of military conflict
in The Somnambulists (2012) and the fictional world of the ghost story
with A Woman in Winter (2006). In this talk he will discuss his career
and his recent experiments with innovative new film technologies.
